The Department of State Services (DSS) has nabbed one Aminat Jimoh, Olalekan Oladehinbo Adenuga and several others for impersonating the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
The Lagos State Command of DSS were said to have arrested the suspects following a letter of complaint from the Speaker’s Office, dated April 22 to cause an investigation into the reports of incessant use of his name to commit criminal activities.
Findings showed that in one particular act, Adenuga had introduced one lady, Aminat Oluwabukola Jimoh, to Messr Caverton Helicopters at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
In the forged letter, Adenuga fraudulently acting as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, recommended Jimoh to Caverton for employment.
The letter, which was received by Caverton Helicopters on April 20, 2021, was written on April 15 and addressed to the managing director of the airline.
The letter with reference number NASS/FAG/REC/001 reads partly, “I write to introduce and recommend Aminat Oluwabukola Jimoh who is seeking employment into your organisation
“She is a self-motivated and creative individual and I am sure she would be of great benefit to your establishment if given the opportunity.
“Kindly give her application special consideration for employment.
“While I look forward to a favourable response from you, please accept the assurances of my esteemed regards.”
It was gathered that the Speaker’s Office in the National Assembly had received several complaints about unknown persons, who wrote agencies and organizations, claiming to be the speaker, his aide, and making all manner of requests from the unsuspecting bodies.
A top official of DSS who confirmed the development under anonymity said that the services was investigating the forging of the official letterhead and signature of the speaker and using same to defraud unsuspecting individuals and organisations in the country.
