Police operatives in Abia State have arrested three suspects who posed as Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives to rob students of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike.
The spokesman for the state police command, Maureen Chinaka, said in a statement on Saturday in Umuahia that police got information on Tuesday that a four-man gang in EFCC uniforms was robbing the students at their residence.
She said the robbers dispossessed some of the students of their phones and forced them to transfer N120,000 to their bank accounts.
