Legit.ng gathers that he was allegedly found to be in possession of 11 Automatic Teller Machine cards and 10 cheque books of different banks, which he claimed belonged to him.

The FCT commissioner of police, Bala Ciroma, who paraded the suspect on Wednesday, December 19, said he had defrauded unsuspecting members of the public by posing as a retired AIG and promising to assist them in getting contracts at the Police Air Wing Department.

Ciroma said: “On December 10, 2018, police operatives from the command arrested Olatunji, who had been parading himself as a retired AIG.

“The suspect had under the same pretext, defrauded unsuspecting members of the public by offering to help them secure contracts at the Police Air Wing.

“In the course of investigation, fake Police Air Wing receipts, fake contract documents, 11 ATM cards, 10 cheque books and letterheads of different companies were recovered from him as exhibits.”

Olatunji denied defrauding people but admitted ownership of the seized items, including the fake Police Air Wing receipts.

He said: “A pastor introduced me to someone as a retired AIG, but I didn’t defraud anyone. The ATM cards and cheque books are for my bank accounts, which were opened for my business with different companies."

He insisted that he wasn't a criminal and asked the police to charge him to court.
