The statement explained, “The suspect, Idris Adamu, walked into the office of the EFCC at about 1300hrs and requested to see the Acting Zonal Director, Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Sa’ad Hanafi Sa’ad. He said he wanted to confess some hidden truths about the crimes he had committed in the past.
“While at the Directors office, he said,” I came to repent of my sins and to confess to the EFCC . In the past , I have obtained the aggregate sum of N9m through my bank account from different individuals in the guise of offering them employment opportunities in Federal Government agencies which was false. I have changed but I am afraid of the EFCC.”
