A man in Ondo state has been arrested for duping people seeking employment with the Nigeria police Force.
The men of the State Police Command yesterday paraded a 29-year-old man, Akinmoladun Emmanuel, who has allegedly duped several people seeking for job with the Nigerian Police Force.
Mr. Emmanuel was arrested based on the tip off given by some members of the public who were his victims.
The man, a native of Ode-Irele, in Irele local government area of Ondo State, was arrested at Isaac Adebanjo Hotel, along Oke Ijebu area of Akure metropolis.
He had lodged in the hotel for about two weeks, claiming to have been officially sent from the Inspector General of Police’s office in Abuja to assist applicants for recruitment.
Parading the suspect in Akure yesterday, the spokesperson of the command, Adeniran Aremu, said the suspect was arrested on Monday around 11am.
He added that the suspect, after he was interrogated, said he had collected various sums of money ranging from N20, 000 to N50, 000 from the victims, who were desperate to secure police job.
Some of the documents found in the possession of the suspects, according to Mr. Aremu, were: leg chains, police buttons and Lanyard, documents from Police Service Commission, Police Applicant forms, and other documents.
The state commissioner of police, Ballah Magaji Nassarawa, urged applicants seeking job with the Nigerian Police to be wary of fraudsters.
“I want to tell the applicants that ongoing recruitment into the Nigeria Police as recruit constables is free of charge. They should be wary of fraudulent ones that may want to dupe them in the guise of getting police job for them,” he said.
