Punch newspaper probably googled Director of Operations EFCC. And Mohammed Abba Umar turned up
So they carried the news that the man was now the acting chairman. But Mohammed Umar was DOP under Magu
He acted as chairman when Magu was removed till Bawa was appointed. And after that he was redeployed to the police in Kano
He is now the DCP SCID Kano. The current DOP EFCC is Mr Chukkol
Punch didn't make a small mistake. They actually published the biography of Mohammed Umar.
But if they had read the biography they published they would have known that Umar couldn't still be DOP
Having published a mishmash, other newspapers copied Punch
PM News carried it
Vanguard carried it
Today, Daily Trust's front page has Mohammed Umar
Today, Thisday's front page has Mohammed Umar.
