The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps in Borno State, yesterday, arrested a man for allegedly defrauding Internally Displaced Persons in the state to the tune of N2.7m.
The Corps State Commandant, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim, said the suspect was arrested while selling fake forms to some IDPs in Maiduguri, claiming to use the form to provide relief materials for the displaced persons.
He said, “The suspects have sold a total of 9,000 forms to the IDPs in some camps across Maiduguri at the cost of N300 each, promising them that they will be provided with special relief materials from Abuja.”
Ibrahim added that the suspect, with some of his collaborators now on the run, “engaged the services of some agents in the camps, to deceive the IDPs that special relief materials will be brought to them from Abuja after filling the forms with their passport photographs attached.”
