Operation Safe Have arrests fraudster for impersonating its personnel to collect N400k from family of notorious gunrunner

Operation SAFE HAVEN (OPSH) has arrested one Mr Musa Ali, for impersonating as a personnel of OPSH with intent to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. 

Major Media Information Officer of OPSH, Major Samson Nantip, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, August 9, 2025 said the suspect fraudulently presented himself as a serving member of OPSH and deceitfully collected the sum of Four Hundred Thousand Naira (N400,000.00) from the family of a notorious gunrunner currently undergoing investigation. 

“Mr Ali falsely claimed that he could stop the ongoing investigations and secure the suspect’s release from custody before his fraudulent scheme was promptly uncovered by operatives of OPSH leading to his arrest,” the statement read. 

 

“OPSH wishes to categorically state that it does not, under any circumstances, collect money or other gratification to release suspects or halt investigations. 

 

“All suspects arrested by OPSH are diligently investigated in line with established legal procedures with the ultimate aim of ensuring justice and maintaining peace across the Joint Operations Area. 

 

“Therefore, the arrest of Mr Musa Ali underscores OPSH’s unwavering commitment to professionalism, transparency and zero tolerance for corruption. 

 

“We assure the public that the suspect will be diligently prosecuted upon completion of investigations. 

 

“We, therefore, urge members of the public to be vigilant and wary of fraudsters who may attempt to exploit their circumstances by making false claims of influence over OPSH’s investigative activities. 

 

“The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activity or individuals impersonating security personnel through OPSH’s toll-free line 08000020203 or by visiting Headquarters OPSH around Hill Station Roundabout in Jos. 

 

“OPSH reaffirms its commitment to protecting lives and property, promoting peace and upholding the highest standards of integrity. 

 

“It is also expedient to state that OPSH in conjunction with other security agencies on the plateau will continue to work tirelessly with stakeholders and law-abiding citizens to rid the JOA of criminalities.”
