A mild drama unfolded at the Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, June 2, 2025, when a middle-aged man voluntarily reported himself for offences relating to impersonation and obtaining by false pretence, citing fear of the EFCC as his motivation.

The suspect, identified as Idris Adamu, walked into the EFCC office around 1:00 pm and requested to see the Acting Zonal Director, Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Sa’ad Hanafi Sa’ad.
He expressed his desire to confess certain crimes he had committed in the past.
While in the Director’s office, Adamu said, “I came to repent of my sins and to confess to the EFCC.
In the past, I have obtained the sum of N9 million through my bank account from different individuals under the guise of offering them employment opportunities in federal government agencies, which was false. I have changed, but I am afraid of the EFCC.”
