“Led by the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, the operatives recovered several forged CAC documents, a Toyota Sienna and a Toyota Matrix used as makeshift offices for their nefarious transactions,” the statement reads.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the syndicate has swindled over hundreds of people through fake CAC registrations.
“Meanwhile, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti, for further investigations and eventual prosecution.”
