A statement released by SP Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesperson of the state police command, said five suspects manning the center were equally arrested for forgery and impersonating CAC officials.

He said those arrested were identified as Gloria Ukaegbu aged 28, Omolere Kayode aged 30, Taiwo Ajayi aged 34, Nwachukwu Brenda aged 27 and Oluwatomisin Adebisi aged 25. 

Hundeyin said the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, led operatives to the center where several forged CAC documents, a Toyota Sienna and a Toyota Matrix used as makeshift offices for their nefarious transactions were recovered.
