A 59-year-old retiree, Michael Oshodin, has landed into trouble for allegedly duping unsuspecting employment seekers into the University of Benin N1.2 million.

Oshodin, an ex-staff of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), was paraded at the Edo State Police Command on Friday, September 20.

Our correspondent who covered the parade, said the suspect was alleged to have collected the sums from over 25 persons whom he promised to help secure employment at UNIBEN.

Speaking with journalists at the Force headquarters in Benin, Oshodin said he was contracted by one Christy Ikeke-Oni, a staff of UNIBEN, in the Department of Theatre Art, to recruit employment seekers into the school.

He, however, said that the said Christy suddenly died two months ago after he had given her all the money he collected from his victims.

“The people have been begging me to help them find job and I decided to help them when opportunity came. I gave Christy all the money I collected from them”, he said.

“She [Christy] died two months ago. That was why this problem came up.

“I was walking inside UNIBEN when one of the victims saw me and raised the alarm. I gave the deceased’s UNIBEN staff N1.2 million. I already told them I will pay them back, but I need little time,” Oshodin added.
