Operatives of the Department of State Services are currently  investigating one Aminat Jimoh, Olalekan Oladehinbo Adenuga, and many others for impersonating the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, with one member of the syndicate already in DSS net

The Lagos office of the service reportedly made the arrests while investigating the forging of the official letterhead and signature of the Speaker and allegedly using same to defraud unsuspecting individuals and organizations in the country.

Checks revealed that in one of the fraudulent acts, Adenuga had introduced one Aminat Oluwabukola Jimoh, to Messrs Caverton Helicopters at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos for employment solicited by the Speaker.

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 with reference number Nass/ FAG/REC/001.

The letter reads partly, “I write to introduce and recommend Aminat Oluwabukola Jimoh who is seeking employment into your organization.

“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.

Adenuga has carved a niche for himself – Orji Kalu

“While I look forward to a favorable response from you, please accept the assurances of my esteemed regards.”

However, it was gathered that before luck ran out on Aminat Jimoh and her accomplice, Olalekan Adenuga, 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.

Following the developments, the Speaker’s office in a letter to the Department of State Security Services, dated April 22, had requested the secret police to cause an investigation to be conducted into the complaints.

Operatives of the command were said to have acted on the request, which eventually led to the identification and arrest of Adenuga, one of the prime suspects, while the DSS are said to be on the trail of other suspects.
