“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect had fraudulently obtained the sum of N300,000 from one Monday Akinde of Obi Local Government Area”.
“He promised to secure a job for him at Nasarawa State Hospital Management Board and thereafter tricked the same victim into bringing someone seeking recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force”.
“He told them that the Commissioner of Police had given him a slot, and he is willing to sell it for N500,000,” he said.
Nansel said that the police had recovered N300,000 from the suspect as an exhibit.
He urged job seekers to be wary of employment racketeers and be mindful of posting sensitive information on social media.
