Two suspected fraudsters have been arrested for allegedly defrauding 24 people seeking employment at the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri, Imo State. According to a statement issued on Friday by the Special Assistant on Media Matters to the Rector of the polytechnic, Fidel Onyeneke, the suspects succeeded in defrauding 24 people of the sum of N1.6 million before their activities were uncovered. Onyeneke said the alleged fraudsters were apprehended and handed over to security operatives, The Guardian reports. “The Management of the Polytechnic has alerted members of the public on the activities of fraudsters who dupe people of huge sums of money with a promise to offer them employment in the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri," the statement read. "Recently, two persons were arrested and apprehended in Owerri following reports that they collected sums totaling over N1.6 million from more than 24 persons under the pretext that they would secure jobs for them in the polytechnic," he said. Established in 1878, the Polytechnic was originally called the College of Technology, Owerri.
