The National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has apprehended a 24-year-old man, Jeremiah Stephen, for allegedly defrauding customers through fake money transfers and unauthorized withdrawals from Point of Sale (POS) machines.
Stephen, who was arrested in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State, is accused of swindling a total of N500,000 from unsuspecting victims.
During an interrogation by the Public Relations Officer of the NSCDC State Command, DSC Amidu Nyako, the suspect admitted to defrauding people of the sum in both Michika and Yola metropolis. Stephen claimed that he was driven to commit the crime due to a medical condition and vowed to abandon such activities. He also advised others contemplating similar actions to reconsider, stating that “cheating does not pay.”
In response, DSC Amidu Nyako commended the efforts of the Michika Divisional Officer, DSC Hajara Usman, for successfully apprehending the suspect. He urged business owners and POS operators to verify all money transfers before releasing goods or processing payments.
The State Commandant of the Corps, Ibrahim Mainasara, has ordered a thorough investigation into the case, with the intent to prosecute the suspect to the fullest extent of the law.
