‎The National Cybercrime Centre of the Nigeria Police has arrested a 28-year-old Dauda Samuel for his alleged involvement in the Nigeria Police Force recruitment scam, computer-related fraud, and identity theft.

Samuel’s arrest followed credible intelligence and multiple complaints from members of the public.
‎
‎Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the arrest followed reports that an individual had been impersonating the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG Frank Mba, on Facebook.

Adejobi said the suspect allegedly exploited this false identity to promote a fictitious police recruitment exercise, fraudulently extorting money from unsuspecting Nigerians under the pretense of offering employment into the police.
‎
‎Adejobi said preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect created and operated fake Facebook accounts bearing the name and image of the DIG in charge of Training and Development, DIG Mba, without authorisation.

The FPRO said Samuel was recently apprehended at Panda Village in Nasarawa State, and has since confessed to the crime, also providing valuable information that is aiding ongoing investigations.
‎
‎”Efforts are currently underway to identify possible accomplices and trace additional digital footprints linked to the suspect’s activities through digital forensic analysis,” the Force PRO stated.
