By Niyi Olutunde, Akure
The Ondo Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps said it has arrested four suspected fraudsters and a cultist terrorising the people of the state.
The NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Mr Kayode Balogun said in a statement that the fraudsters were arrested after duping a student of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo.
“The fraudsters cornered the student to their hideout where they collected his N58,000 school fees, Techno phone and wallet containing school ID card and voter’s card,” he said.
Balogun disclosed that the NSCDC also arrested a middle age woman for allegedly duping a 17-year-old girl.
“After hypnotising the girl, the suspects told her to bring her parent’s money and threatened that if she tells anybody she would run mad.
“The teenager, out of fear, stole her parents’ N90,000 and gave it to the suspect,’’ said the PRO.
Also, a student was arrested for cultism after attacking a fellow student with a machete during an inter-house sports competition.
“He was caught with machete, axe and arrow suspected to have been used to perpetrate the act,” he added.
The NSCDC boss said that all the suspects would be charged to court once
investigation was completed.
He appealed to the public to give useful information about the criminal activities to security agents in order to rid the state of all forms of criminality.
