‎KEBBI POLICE ARREST SUSPECT FOR EMPLOYMENT FRAUD INVOLVING ₦5.2 MILLION


‎
‎The Kebbi State Police Command has arrested one Hamza Abdullahi Sama, a resident of the KCC area, Birnin Kebbi, for allegedly defrauding over 175 unsuspecting job seekers under the guise of securing government-approved school feeding jobs across the state.
‎
‎Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect falsely represented himself as having the capacity and authority to facilitate employment placements in various primary and secondary schools purportedly approved by the Kebbi State Government. Relying on these false representations and acting in good faith, the victims; including Shafa’atu, Yusuf Yahaya (alias Baban Zaria), Hussai Sani, Ubaida Abubakar, among others, were deceitfully induced to part with the sum of ₦30,000 each, described by the suspect as “processing fees.”
‎
‎Further investigative findings established that the suspect fraudulently obtained a total sum of ₦5,200,000 from the victims through deliberate misrepresentation, as no such employment opportunities existed, nor was the suspect authorised by any government agency to recruit or process jobs on its behalf.
‎
‎The suspect is currently in police custody, and investigation is ongoing with a view to charging him to court upon conclusion of investigations.
‎
‎The Kebbi State Police Command hereby warns members of the public to be vigilant and cautious of individuals who exploit the desperation of job seekers through fraudulent employment schemes. The Command remains resolute in its commitment to intelligence-led policing and will continue to identify, arrest, and prosecute offenders in accordance with the law.
