Ex-policeman arrested for trying to defraud Buhari’s children

A 36-year-old former policeman, Charles Abam, has been arrested for trying to defraud the 
children of President Muhammadu Buhari. The Punch reports that the suspect, who is currently being held at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, impersonated Mrs. Daisy Danjuma, wife of Gen. T.Y. Danjuma, in order to defraud Buhari's children. NAIJ.com gathered that the Delta state indigene sent an SMS to a prominent APC chieftain, demanding for the phone numbers of the president’s children. The chieftain was said to have replied the SMS that she did not have the phone numbers of the president’s children but sent that of the elder brother of first Lady, Aisha, thinking she was communicating with Daisy Danjuma. Abam went further to contact the first lady’s brother by SMS, asking for the phone numbers of the president’s children. He eventually got the phone numbers of the president’s children, whom he sent messages, again impersonating Danjuma. He went on to ask the children to present five names for a phantom job with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency. Charles Abam and his accomplice Felix Machi Members of the presidential family were said to have played along and sent some names and phone numbers to him. Eight names which were provided by the police, were sent to him and his accomplice, Felix Machi. “The suspect then pretended to be officials of the NDLEA and called the phone numbers that had been sent to him. He asked them to pay a certain amount of money to a bank account, which would be payment for their kits during their training exercise. But no payment was made to the accounts,” the police source revealed.
