Acting on credible intelligence, operatives of the NPF-NCCC conducted a targeted raid on a suspected cybercrime hideout situated in Garki II, FCT. Despite the escape of other members of the criminal syndicate, Muhammed Zenabdin was successfully captured. <\/span><\/p>\n

A subsequent search of the premises, authorized by a warrant, uncovered compelling evidence, including sophisticated counterfeit detection equipment, international passports, mobile phones, and a luxury vehicle, along with $100,000 in one-hundred-dollar bills suspected to be counterfeits.<\/span><\/p>\n
