The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has nabbed a suspect identified as Isah Ade-Jimoh, who had allegedly been duping unsuspecting members of the public under the guise of recruiting them into the Nigerian Police. Also arrested is Ibrahim Oladele, who claimed to be a lecturer at the University of Ilorin, and had duped an admission seeker, Olawuyi Olufemi, of N450,000.
While parading the suspects on Monday in Ilorin, Esosa Amadesu, the new Kwara State Commissioner of Police, said Ade-Jimoh was arrested when a team of detectives from the command’s Special Investigation and Intelligence Bureau swooped on the suspect at a Cyber Café on Muritala Mohammed Way, Ilorin.
"The suspect had displayed a signpost advertising the sale of police recruitment forms. The suspect also advertised forms for the recruitment into the Nigerian Army. In the course of searching the Cyber Café, the detectives recovered four printed fake police recruitment forms, one laptop, two central processing units, one monitor and two universal modems and other documents suspected to have been faked," Amadesu said.
He urged members of the public not to fall prey to fake recruitment syndicates, adding that the police would inform the people when they were ready to recruit the 10,000 personnel as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari The Police boss further said while on intelligence gathering, the operatives arrested Oladele of the Tanke Akata area of Ilorin, who had been defrauding unsuspecting admission seekers into universities and other tertiary institutions.
