The Attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, and the EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa had denied authorising the search.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, during a briefing said the suspects include a fake chief superintendent of police (CSP), a journalist, and an Islamic scholar.
He added that 10 other suspects, including two military personnel, are currently at large.
Mba said, “The inspector-general of police (IGP) ordered a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
“Earlier on, the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice had also submitted a written petition into the office of the IGP, requesting a robust and discreet investigation into the matter, with the aim of unravelling the identities of the persons involved, their motives, and perhaps, the authorities, if any, behind them.
“The case was subsequently handed over to the force intelligence bureau on the instruction of the IGP.”
