Investigations showed that the suspects operate a three-man syndicate that advertises fake bids for contracts in the office of the Chief of Defence Staff.

Their arrest followed multiple petitions received by the Commission in respect of their fraudulent activities. In one of the petitions, a victim claimed a loss of N21 million to their antics.

They will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations, EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said in a statement released on Wednesday evening.
