Wednesday, August 21, 2024 -The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Kano has arrested an alleged job scammer who specialised in defrauding people of their hard-earned money by promising them fictitious employment in Kano State government ministries.
The Public Relations Officer
of the command, Ibrahim Abdullahi, who disclosed this in a statement on
Wednesday, August 21, 2024, said that the suspect Mu’azu Mohammed Ibrahim, 32,
was arrested after weeks of intense tracking of his whereabouts.
"The suspect, Mu’azu Mohammed
Ibrahim, 32 years old, a resident of Sagagi Quarters, Kano Municipal LGA, was
arrested after weeks of intense tracking of his whereabouts, following
complaints lodged by individuals, mostly women, who had been duped by the
suspect of more than N1.2 million,” the statement read.
According to him, the suspect lured
his victims by pretending to be a key government official who could secure them
employment in government ministries, departments, and agencies, a false promise
that eventually proved to be untrue.
Abdullahi added that the
investigation has been concluded, and the suspect will be charged in court by
the corps’ legal unit.
