A Federal Capital Territory High Court, Apo, Abuja has sentenced one Obochi Simeon Iwodi who claimed to be a special aide to EFCC Chairman, Abdul-Rasheed Bawa.

According to a statement obtained by DAILY GIST from EFCC portal on Saturday, the Abuja Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC secured the conviction before Justice A.O. Musa of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Apo, Abuja on a one count charge bordering on cheating by impersonation.

While posing as Special Adviser to the EFCC Chairman, the defendant induced some job seekers to pay various sums to him on the pretext that he would help facilitate their employment into the EFCC.
