A notorious fraudster who impersonated the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, 39-year-old Adewunmi Ajide Olayinka, has confessed that the lack of employment opportunities in the country makes it easy for him and his syndicate to dupe job seekers.
Olayinka, also known as Adewunmi Adeyinka Siaka, who was arrested after he posed as an employee of NDLEA, reportedly told some of his victims that he was in charge of selling auctioned vehicles for the agency. In his confession, he claimed that it was easy to extort money from job seekers, and he used to collect between N17,500 and N40,000 from his victims.

He also extorted N680,000 from another victim for the purchase of two NDLEA auctioned vehicles and employment of his son. The suspect said that joblessness pushed him into the criminal act.

Olayinka who also claimed to be an Ordinary National Diploma, (OND), graduate of Business Administration hails from Ila-Orogun, Osun State, and stated that he used to sell CDs in Abuja until his business collapsed when his shop was demolished and he lost his home.
Hear him:
"I told a man that I work with the NDLEA and that I can assist his son get job through an ongoing internal recruitment. He then gave me N40,000. I discovered that it was easy for people to pay money for recruitment. That was how it all started.
It was joblessness that made me to do it. I also collected money from a man that I will help him to buy Toyota Sienna and Toyota Camry at a very cheap price during NDLEA auction sales in Abuja. Some people paid money into my bank account while others paid cash."
But the tide turned against him when ten of the people he duped visited the Ibadan office of the agency requesting for information about the next batch of training at the NDLEA Academy in Jos slated for December 16.

Olayinka was eventually traced and arrested at a private location in Ibadan. Items recovered from him include curriculum vitae of applicants, Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment form and his international passport with the name Adewunmi Adeyinka Siaka.

The NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, however, said that the agency was not conducting recruitment and would not recruit secretly.
"We are determined to deal decisively with fraudsters who defraud members of the public under the guise of employment or helping them to buy auctioned vehicles. Members of the public should learn from this case and avoid dealing with fraudsters."
