NSCDC NABS 3 FOR EMPLOYMENT RACKETEERING: SAYS NO VACANCY 2013-01-14


Recently there have been reports on employment racketeering in the Corps. Worried by this allegation, the anti- graft section of the Corps intensified more efforts in unveiling those behind the shady business.

However, it was discovered that, it is an attempt by mischief makers to dent the image of the Corps as they have done it successfully to other agencies without been challenged.

Due to the fact that the Corps as one of its policy thrust is to ensure transparency, credibility, equity, justice and fairness in all her exercise especially by involving other security agencies such as EFCC, ICPC, Police Armed Forces, NGO, Transparency and Monitoring organization amongst others to monitor her recruitment process in line with the Federal Character Principle.

It is on the basis of these that the Corps decided to partner and work hand-in-hand with the EFCC and ICPC to clamp down on fraudsters who are internet scammers and impersonators defrauding applicants of their hard earned money.

The Corps dragnet in tracking down fraudsters using her name to defraud applicants however yielded positive result as luck ran out of a three (3) man syndicate who impersonated the Commandant General’s aides claiming to be staff of the Corps. The gang comprises of one Mr. Wilfred Ahatuamen who is the principal suspect and claimed to be an aide to the Commandant General with one Miss Grace Benedict, his girl friend who also claimed to be the Commandant General’s Secretary alongside Ikechukwu John who is one of the accomplices.

The said group collected the sum of N280,000.00 from one Mr. Bojor Bobori under false pretence that they were going to offer him job into the Corps and he is to pay the balance of N20,000.00 when the appointment
letter is issued to him.

The corps wishes to express that the said persons have been interrogated and will be handed over to the EFCC for further interrogation and prosecution in order to demonstrate transparency and sincerity to those with contrary views, misconceptions and misguided opinions, who have at one time or the other written against the Corps credibility with a view to denting her image, that the Corps’ integrity is intact and thus it cannot be traded for any paltry sum in the name of employment. Also to prove to government and the entire citizenry that the Corps has never and will never be involved in shady deals, the Corps had earlier arrested over 560 suspects out of which 135 suspects have been successfully prosecuted. Therefore these suspects recently arrested marked another breakthrough in the cases of impersonation where the fraudsters paraded themselves as members of the Corps and most especially claiming to be aides to the Commandant General. Meanwhile, they have no relationship whatsoever with the Corps talk less of been aides to the Corps Boss.

It is worthy of note that the handing over of the suspects to sister agencies such as EFCC and ICPC is to assure Nigerians of the Corps incorruptible stance and to prove that if other agencies can assist in prosecuting them, it will prove the Corps sincerity in handling the issue of employment scam within the system.

Several public enlightenment program on Radio, Television and Newspapers have been carried on the Corps recruitment process, yet desperate job seekers still fall prey to the activities of scammers, by this efforts, applicants should note and face reality that the Corps is not in any way recruiting, so, buying of form, applying for recruitment on-line, paying of money to anybody amongst others is completely a waste of scarce resources and it is uncalled for.

The Corps is therefore using this medium to appeal to all patriotic citizens to assist in arresting everyone who specializes in duping fellow Nigerian because of their predicaments in the labour market.

Also, these amongst others are the websites designed for the purpose of this nefarious act –

www.nscdc.wapka.mobi
www.federaljob.com
www.ministryofinteriorrecruitment.com
www.nairaland.com
prince omotosho among others.

So far 20 persons connected to internet fraud have been arrested and prosecuted.

Applicants and the general public should take note as the Corps will not take it lightly with anyone caught denting her image and shall not be responsible to those who refuse to yield to the warnings and fall prey to the act and cry foul thereafter.

You may wish you reach them...

Those numbers have never been used on this forum

Same goes for the websites. Their links have never been posted here so I wonder where they are getting their info from. This is libel, in my own opinion.

Obinoscopy: Those numbers have never been used on this forum

...my bad. I mis-informed you

The numbers are meant for the general public. Its a medium to the reach NSCDC.

May be you need to check this link..

www.nairaland.com/1049878/nigeria-civil-defence-corps-immigration

Some guys dropped some terrible info & links about the corps..

To say that Nairaland was designed to house scammers is laughable. They should get their facts right before releasing names of businesses.
Once a scam or con thread is noticed by a member or mod, it is immediately taken care of.

Tsk! Incompetence.

All the same I hope they catch those scammers, they deserve whatever punishment is handed to them.

To say that Nairaland was designed to house scammers is laughable

I tell you!

We've to send them a link to your section (gossip)

As far as I could Go by the link acidosis posted, there was no one advertising recruitment by the civil defense corps. The op alongside other posters were all seeking enquires. Spam like posts were hidden, maybe some people were unfortunate to have seen the posts before the mods hid them.
Before we hold any online community responsible, we should question the people that actually patronised these crooks. Anydody that got conned through this process is as a result of his own greed and bad judgement. We should also question the agency for not issuing a disclaimer on their website much earlier.

^They should have withheld names till there was absolute proof. Only the media issue disclaimers in that country, im yet to see an authoritative body do the same. They would if its to cover their ass but they don't care who's reputation they ruin.

Gosh, I wished they could be sued!

Anybody that got conned through this process is as a result of his own greed and bad judgement.

People need to get some internet orientation..
Take for instance, it takes a man who have never seen a cyber cafe to fall for a site like " www.nscdc.wapka.mobi "

We should also question the agency for not issuing a disclaimer on their website much earlier.

A Disclaimer has been on the site before these events.. but alot of people searching for the job ignored the site, others never knew a site like that exist.. It's evident in the comments you read here on Nairaland.

Thats an option..

A site with over 980,000 members is not a joke.. We are as straight as a _________

What about confirmed crooks like chibuzor eze, who might still on the forum surreptitiously scamming people. He is the sort of bad egg that lights the path for never-do-wells, who see the lack of repercussions as an incentive.

But seriously they shouldn't have just mention nairaland among the site without a proof, because i haven't seen the advert on this forum.
