一名27岁的男子Yusuf Abdullahi于2026年2月18日在拉各斯被捕,据称他假扮一名尼日利亚空军军官三年多,在包括拉迪波、阿拉巴和贸易博览会在内的主要市场欺骗贸易商。 A 27-year-old man, Yusuf Abdullahi, was arrested in Lagos on February 18, 2026, for allegedly impersonating a Nigerian Air Force officer for over three years, defrauding traders at major markets including Ladipo, Alaba, and Trade Fair. 他使用军用迷彩制服和一辆在Uber注册的民用车辆,用假银行警报、收集货物和金钱欺骗受害者。 Using a military camouflage uniform and a civilian Uber-registered vehicle, he tricked victims with fake bank alerts, collecting goods and money. 受害者报告损失超过300,000新元,在贸易商发出警报后,他被认出。 Victims reported losses exceeding N300,000, and he was identified after traders raised the alarm. 军事当局证实,他不是真正的军官,调查显示,在Oshodi和Alaba市场,以前发生了欺诈事件。 Military authorities confirmed he was not a real officer, and investigations revealed prior fraud incidents at Oshodi and Alaba markets. 阿卜杜拉希声称他以3万至3.5万奈拉的价格从一名叫塞缪尔的人手中购买了这套制服，并称付款问题导致无法入账，尽管受害者对其说法持异议。 Abdullahi claimed he bought the uniform from a man named Samuel for N30,000–35,000 and said payment issues prevented crediting funds, though victims disputed his claims. 他被移交给警方起诉,军事官员表示可能与更大的冒名顶替团伙有联系。 He was handed over to police for prosecution, with military officials indicating possible links to a larger impersonation ring.
