A man named Idris Adamu walked into the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) office in Gombe and admitted to committing a scam involving ₦9 million.
He told officials that he tricked people by promising them jobs in federal government agencies, but these promises were false.
Adamu, who appeared to be middle-aged, voluntarily approached the EFCC’s Gombe Zonal Directorate around 1 p.m.
He asked to meet the Acting Zonal Director, Deputy Commander Sa’ad Hanafi Sa’ad, to reveal the truth about his past actions. Adamu explained that he had obtained money from various individuals through his bank account by pretending to offer employment opportunities.
After confessing, he said he was fearful of the EFCC but wanted to come clean.
The EFCC official accepted the confession and ordered that Adamu be transferred to the commission’s investigation team for a full inquiry into the scam.
This incident attracted attention at the EFCC office, where staff witnessed the man’s decision to report himself.
The EFCC’s social media page confirmed the report and noted that the case would undergo detailed investigation.
Authorities will now look deeper into how Adamu carried out the fraud and the people affected.
