The arrest of one Prince Mohammed Momoh by operatives of Department of State Services (DSS) for posing as an aide to Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Chief of Staff to the President Muhammadu Buhari, has been commented on by Digital and Social Media Aide to the President, Lauretta Onochie.
She said through her Twitter handle early Wednesday that impersonation is one of the unnecessary crimes that the perpetrator must realise.
“If you need to lie about your identity or who you represent, the chances are, you are committing a crime.
“If You DO The Crime, You’ll Do The Time,” Lauretta Onochie said.
Prince Mohammed Momoh, 42, was arrested by operatives of the DSS for posing as an aide to Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Chief of Staff to the President.
Momoh made the claim to defraud one Benson Aniogo of $50, 000, promising to secure an appointment for him as a Special Adviser to the President on Oil and Gas.
Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the DSS, Dr Peter Afunanya, who on Tuesday paraded the suspect, an indigene of Kogi State, said his services’ investigations revealed that Momoh and his group never acted on behalf of or for the Chief of Staff./
Afunanya said the suspect had approached Aniogu, from Bayelsa State, telling him he was a security aide attached to Gambari.
