Abdulazeez Bello
Bello, 49, was arrested recently by operatives of the State Security Services, SSS, at the Sheraton Hotels & Towers, Lagos, for impersonating the Director of Operations of the EFCC, Mr. Olaolu Adegbite.
Bello was at the hotel premises to further an advance fee fraud agenda targeted at Mrs Mercy Orji, wife of the Abia State governor, Mr. Theodore Orji.
He reportedly posed as the EFCC’s Director of Operations with a fake identity card bearing the name of E. Adegbite.
Reports from the SSS indicated that Bello was arrested on January 27, 2013 while negotiating with some aides of his would-be victim. He was later handed over to the EFCC for prosecution.
At the EFCC’s office, the politician-turned conman said that he was working with certain Nelson Ndukwe and Chuks Offor, both aides of Mrs. Orji to perfect his nefarious agenda of swindling her.
He confessed that he impersonated the EFCC’s Director of Operations.
“I’m sorry that I impersonated the Operations Director of the EFCC. I did it to be able to arrest Mrs. Orji’s assistants who are said to be working for her to launder money. It was my first time of doing this. EFCC should help me out of this”, he said.
Bello has made useful statements to the EFCC and will be charged to court soon.

Can you see why Nigeria is retrogresing,imagine,if this one was able to become a SENATOR ! Governors,legislators and all manner of political office seekers must be thoroughly secrutinized before being allowed to contest…….Anyway,what I’m talking about ! In my almighty Nigeria,they’ll always buy their way with their ill- gotten money ! But I know,it won’t continue this way.
he is fradulent but not alone, we still have millions of people like him in govt and out of govt. just treat him like a criminal, and send him to jail and confisticate his assets because he made it in a dubious way.
What have EFFC done about his statement that some aides of Mrs Orji is helping her in money laundering? Nobody is looking in that direction now.He was trying to capitalise on the fact that she is into money laundering.I am of the opinion that that side of the story should be thoroughly invested and her Excellency should be brought to book also.
if mrs orji has nothing to hide, why the negotiation. why not somebody else?
