Lafia – The State Security Services (SSS) said on Friday in Lafia that it had arrested a university graduate (names withheld) for allegedly forging the official letter-head paper of the Nasarawa State Governor’s Office.
Mr Ngobiowei Awoikiega, the Assistant Director (Security) of the service in the state, said that the suspect was a graduate of Business Administration from the Nasarawa State University, Keffi.
He said the suspect was arrested in Akwanga, headquarters of Akwanga Local Government Area of the state by operatives of the service following a tip-off.
Awoikiega alleged that the suspect used the forged letter-head paper and subsequently forged the signature of the Secretary to the State Government, Zainab Abdulmumin, to introduce himself and one other person whose name could not be disclosed with the intent of gaining employment at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi.
According to him, the suspect has made useful statements on the alleged offence.
“Unknown to officials of the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, the management honoured the letter printed on the fake letter-headed paper from the Governor’s Office by offering a provisional employment to his (suspect’s) client.”
Ngobiowei advised the general public to avoid falling victims of the activities of persons with fraudulent intentions.
Fielding questions from journalists, the suspect admitted committing the offence, saying that he did it because he could not secure employment since 2009 after his graduation from the university. (NAN) http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/varsity-graduate-forges-govs-letter-head-paper/

The system is so messed up that one can hardly secure a job mostly in govt organizations/parasta with out a "god-father". Securing a job after school now is either by "miracle" or by "god fatherism". Today graduates with out an "oga-at-the-top" are willing to do anything just to get employed, tomorow it might be revolution, who knows? Obviously our public officers don't know the origin of the Arab spring that even sang "that" great Gadaffi. They should give him 20 strokes of the cain and let him go, simple. After all 85% of the cadets in Nigerian Defence Academy are kids of our theiving politicians.

he did the right thing,
i would av done worse.

FMC management must be sued for giving employment on the sole basis of receiving letter of introduction from the governor...CORRUPTION CORRUPTION ..killing the spirit of the energetic Nigerian youths. This is a petition ICPC must take on.
