Vincent Bulus Venman AKA Fidelis Tapgun<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A suspected fraudster who impersonated a former Plateau State Governor, Fidelis Tapgun and allegedly duped a serving senator of N5 million has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.<\/p>\n

Vincent Bulus Venman a.k.a Fidelis Tapgun, was apprehended at a bank branch in Jos, Plateau State while attempting to withdraw the sum of N2 million sent to him as a bait by the serving senator whom he had earlier defrauded of N5m by claiming to be Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun.<\/p>\n

Bulus\u2019 undoing was his insistence to further milk the senator after collecting N5 million sent to him in two installments through the account name, Venman Vincent Bulus with number 30775681.<\/p>\n

His demand for another N2 million after collecting N5 million got the senator suspicious which triggered a petition to the EFCC.<\/p>\n

The Commission swiftly initiated investigation and advised the senator to play along.<\/p>\n

The suspect was subsequently nabbed as he tried to withdraw the money sent to him. Items recovered from him include the sum of N2.5 million, a Toyota Prado SUV 2012 model and a bank saving account withdrawal booklet.<\/p>\n

The suspect will soon be arraigned in court.<\/p>\n
