The Kebbi State Police Command has arrested one Hamza Abdullahi Sama, a resident of the KCC area of Birnin Kebbi, for allegedly defrauding over 175 unsuspecting job seekers under the guise of securing government-approved school feeding jobs across the state.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, SP Bashir Usman, confirmed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi.
According to him, “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.’
