    The Police Command in Enugu State has
    arrested a fake philanthropist and recovered fraudulently obtained bags of rice within Enugu metropolis.

    The Command’s Spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement on Sunday in Enugu that the swift response of police operatives serving in the Ogui Police Division led to arrest of one Joseph Nnamani, 45.

    Ndukwe noted that if not for police intervention, Nnamani would have successfully defrauded a businessman of 18 bags of rice valued at about N400,000 under the guise of buying and using the rice for charity at a church on Feb. 14, 2024, Valentine’s Day.

    “On Valentine’s Day, Nnamani went to the premises of a church (name withheld) in Ogui, Enugu, from where he called the businessman (names withheld) on the phone, requesting 18 pieces of 25kg bags of rice with the pretense of wanting to use the same for charity to the church.

     

    “The businessman accordingly supplied the rice and unsuspectingly followed Nnamani to the bank to receive his payment through bank transfer.

     

    “But in the course of effecting the payment, Nnamani secretly left the bank, went back to the church, and made away with the bags of rice to an unknown destination.

     

    “The suspect, however, could not run or hide for so long, as police operatives, upon receiving the report, embarked on an intelligence-driven investigation, which led to his arrest on Feb. 20, 2024, at Enene, Enugu,” he said.

     

    The police spokesman noted that upon his arrest, eight out of the 18 25kg bags of rice were recovered from him, after he had re-bagged and sold the other bags at Oye Emene Market, Enugu.

     

    Ndukwe said the suspect and his cohorts would definitely have a date with the court of law once investigations are concluded on the matter.

    “The citizenry, particularly businessmen and women, are hereby advised to always be security conscious and wary of whom and how they transact businesses in such circumstances, to avoid falling prey to fraudulent suspects like Nnamani.

    ”Additionally, while the investigation lasts, person(s) who may have suffered a similar act of fraud by the suspect, are encouraged to report to the mentioned police division to volunteer relevant information,” he added. (Flowerbudnews)

    He said: “And if they fail to repent, then we shall stop at nothing to ruthlessly deal with them.

     

    “I also want to strongly caution rumour mongers, rabble-rousers and peddlers of fake, misinformative and disinformative news in Enugu State to desist forthwith, as the Police would not hesitate to deal decisively with anyone found wanting, in accordance with extant laws, particularly the Cybercrime Act.

     

    “There is no doubt that the task of tackling the increasing security challenges in our society is daily becoming daunting.

    “Nonetheless, the assurance I bring to the good people of Enugu State is that we will remain focused and unflinching in our commitment to enthrone a crime-free and peaceful environment for all and sundry to thrive in their legitimate enterprises.”

     

    Uzuegbu urged the citizenry to remain law-abiding, security conscious and continue to support the police, through the provision of credible and actionable security information; while also reporting suspected criminals and their activities to the nearest police station. (Flowerbudnews)

    charges officials “let’s maintain this momentum and strive for even greater achievements ”

     

    By Biola Lawal

    Abuja (Flowerbudnews): A total of 136,177 candidates have now been screened in the ongoing recruitment exercise of the Nigeria Police Force which commenced nationwide on January 8.

    The Police Service Commission through the Police Recruitment Board is currently Screening 416,270 Nigerian youths who have shown interest and applied to be considered for a career in the Nigeria Police Force, Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations disclosed in a statement on Tuesday.

    ”The candidates are being subjected to physical and credentials screening, a prelude to an aptitude test and other processes including medical examination,” the statement stressed..

    It said that the Commission has upgraded and automated the online recruitment processes to ensure its credibility and create a measurable standard for final selection of successful candidates.

    ” Results/outcome of the screening exercise are uploaded real time to the Commission’s portal and monitored by the Situation Room set up and led by Commission Chairman, Dr. Solomon Arase CFR, retired Inspector General of Police,” it said.

    Out of the 136, 177 candidates screened, 108,768 have been successfully uploaded, the difference being problems/challenges from fluctuating network.

    The PSC Chairman who is the National Co-ordinator for the Recruitment exercise, had expressed his satisfaction with the commitment of both the Commission Staff, the Police Officials and other Members of the Police Recruitment Board.

     

    He confirmed that there had been a commendable improvement in both screening and uploading rates and a complementary daily reportage of figures.

    Dr. Arase congratulated the field work force and charged them to ‘: maintain this momentum and strive for even greater achievements”.

    He assured the candidates that they should not panic and be rest assured that they will all be screened before the end of the screening exercise, adding that he is aware of the heavy traffic at the screening centres.

    Dr. Arase said the Commission is giving the nation a new and credible platform for recruitment into the public Service insisting that the ongoing Police recruitment will surely meet all known international standards devoid of any manipulation.

    He repeated that the nation will be proud of the products of this exercise. He however said the Commission may review the sequence of the exercise where the aptitude tests may come first.

    Dr. Arase noted that reports from the field showed a curious development where many candidates with beautiful Senior Secondary School Certicates (SSSC) and National Examination Council certificates can not write their names or ordinarily introduce themselves.

    He wondered how they acquired such excellent certificates adding that aptitude tests coming as a first stage of the recruitment process will help eliminate obviously unqualified candidates and reduce the size of persons that would subsequently appear for screening.

    He disclosed that the Commission will surely get it right and produce a template for effective and efficient recruitment exercise in Nigeria. “When we get it right at the entry point, we would have almost gotten sixty percent quality in the expected performance of the Officers and that is our objective” Dr. Arase noted.
