Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Port Harcourt Zonal Office, have arrested a fake Army General posing as Brigadier General Dawuk Danfulani of the 6 Division Garrison, Nigeria Army, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The suspect, Adesola Bucknor, allegedly “appointed” the Vice Chancellor, Rivers State University, Professor Blessing Diba, as Chief Command Patron of the Nigerian Army Chaplain Service and signed the “Appointment Letter” in the name of Brig.-Gen. Danfulani. In the letter, he solicited for financial support for the entertainment of guests invited to the installation of Dibia and a thanksgiving ceremony after his installation.

To lend credence to the “Appointment Letter”, Bucknor allegedly forged the logo of the Nigerian Army Chaplain Services and signed the document accordingly.

“Searches conducted in his residence in Port Harcourt yielded several incriminating documents establishing the offence,” EFCC Head, Media & Publicity Wilson Uwujaren, said Thursday in a statement. “The suspect,” he said, “will soon be charged to court.”
