One day for the thief one day for
the owner, this is applicable to a notorious job fraudster that was arrested by
men of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS)
It was gathered that the arrested
scammer was involved in online
advertising scams on non-existing vacancies in government agencies.
The suspected kingpin whose real
name was given as Abubakar Rilwan had been declared wanted by some security
agencies in the country before his arrest.
A top customs officer stated:
“Abubakar Rilwan, who is evidently disabled is one of the principal actors and
suspect in a job/auction scam syndicate. Whatever he lacks in physical ability,
he makes up for in his exceptional ability to manipulate and swindle his
victims.
“He has duped desperate job and
auction seekers to the tune of over 20 million naira, sometimes using the
services of lawyers.
“In one of his escapades, he
collected money from 7 (seven) job seekers in Taraba State, issued them fake
appointment letters, and caused them to travel all the way to Bayelsa State for
fake training. They got there before realizing they were duped.”
While Rilwan is currently in the
custody of the Nigeria Customs Service undergoing further investigation, other
security agencies that had declared wanted for related offences.
The spokesperson of the Nigeria
Customs Service, Mr. Wale Adeniyi confirmed the arrest.
