The Kwara State police command has arrested and
paraded suspected four-member forgery syndicate, who specialised in
forging letters of employment and postings.
Speaking with journalists during the parade of the suspects, the state
commissioner of police, Mr Sam Okaula, said operatives of the command,
acting on intelligence, arrested members of the syndicate at Gaa-Saka
and Oke Fomo areas of Ilorin metropolis.
The police boss said the paraded suspects were in the act of forging
letters of employment and posting of government agencies and parastatals
like Nigeria Hajj Commission, Nigeria Ports Authority, Kwara State
Teaching Service Commission, Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board
(SUBEB) etc.
He said the members of syndicate charged and collected between N40, 000
and N70, 000 from each victim for state appointments and between N200,
000 and N350, 000 each for federal appointments.
Mr Okaula, who said that fake documents of different government agencies
and parastatals were recovered from the suspects, added that they had
confessed to have made N4 million from the process.
"The activities of this syndicate had led to injection of fake workers
into the workforce of the state which had made the current verification
exercise embarked upon by the state government timely.
The police boss said the suspects would soon be arraigned in court.
