DSS arrests fake FRSC staff
A 30-year-old fake staff of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has been arrested by the Department of Security service (DSS) and handed over to the agency in Anambra State.
The FRSC said on Thursday, in Awka, that the suspect, Raymond Aghaogwu, had been defrauding people for some time in the state.
Aghaogwu is from Ebonyi State and a former staff of the agency, who was sacked in 2008.
Found in his possession, were FRSC uniforms – including head dress, jacket, trousers, safety boot and belt. In his reaction, the Sector Commander, Sunday Ajayi, said that the suspect, who resided in Makurdi, Benue State, engaged in illegal driver’s licence procurement, recruitment of Special Marshals, procurement of auctioned vehicles and employment racketeering.
Ajayi said the suspect, who had been under watch, in the past two years, specialised in defrauding clergymen and other unsuspecting individuals.
He said the suspect was nabbed by men of the DSS in Awka, after he went to withdraw some money paid into his account by a victim.
However, he urged the people who had fallen victim to his nefarious activities to come to the Command for consideration and further warned the public to be wary of whom they dealt with. Ajayi said: “Aghaogwu was a former staff of the FRSC but was dismissed in 2008, but has since his dismissal been defrauding people in the name of the FRSC, and this morning I am presenting him to the general public to disclaim all his activities”
