The Nigeria Security And Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Jigawa State Command, has arrested four suspected fraudsters.
Spokesman of the Command CSC Adamu Shehu confirmed the arrest in a statement issued to DAILY POST.
He said the suspects, Sadiq Sa’idu, Nura Adamu, Sa’adu Danladi, and Sani Idris, were arrested following a complaint lodged at the NSCDC Area Command Hadejia by one Sambo Muhammad (Karo) of Titin Yahai quarters in Hadejia local Government.
He said the suspects are accused of cheating/dishonestly inducing the delivery of property and criminal conspiracy.
According to Sambo, ” The incident happened when I sent my 18-year-old boy Al-Amin with an ATM card to refuel my motorcycle at a filling station but met with Sadiq Sa’adu and Nura Adamu who deceived and tricked him into believing that they would assist him with prayers to increase the amount of money in the bank account.
“He handed over all the contents of his pocket including the ATM card and the keys to the motorcycle, Haojue.”
Sambo further stated that the sum of N2 million was already deducted from his account at the time of lodging the complaint.
Adam said after receiving the complaint, operatives of the Area Command swung into action by tracking the POS locations used to debit the account.
He added that the suspects have confessed to the crime and were charged before a Chief Magistrate Court in Hadejia.
