The Sokoto State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps ( NSCDC), says it had arrested a 50-year old man, Bello Abdullahi, for reportedly impersonating Gov.Aminu Tambuwal .

The '' fake Governor'',was paraded before news men in Sokoto, on Thursday by the Commandant of the Corps in the state, Mr Babangida Dutsin-Ma.

Dutsin-Ma said ,the suspect was arrested on Wednesday after extortingN 20,000 from an unsuspecting Islamic Cleric in the state . According to the comandant the suspect who resides in the Gobirare area of Sokoto city, had called the unsuspecting cleric that he would be included in a high powered proposed State Committee on Religious Affairs.

So,the suspectect used a telephone number, claiming to be Gov.Tambuwal, and a third party voice, and asked the victim to provide N20,000, for the provision of a certificate to qualify him for the membership of the proposed committee.'' He also called his victim, asking for another N 5,000 for registration and eventual inclusion in the proposed faked committee.

"So, it was at that time that the victim became suspicious, reported the matter to us and we swung into action.'' Dutsin-Ma.

He informed news men that, the suspect had sent another person to collect the initial N20,000 and that was when he was arrested.

"It was after the arrest of the errand man that he led us to where the fake Gov. Tambuwal was domiciled.'' We immediately arrested him, and we will charge him to court after the conclusion of our investigations.'' Dutsin Ma added.
