The anti-fraud unit of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Jigawa State Command, has arrested one Kingsley Nneji, 29 years old, an adhoc staff of Prime Gate Consultants, entrusted with the bio-data capture of Jigawa State civil servants, following his alleged involvement in collection of money before registering a civil servant.
Raye24reporters gathered that the suspect was arrested on Wednesday, in the State Ministry of Finance, Dutse, where the exercise was taking place.
His arrest followed a complaint lodged by the husband of the aggrieved civil servant, a retired military officer, who reported to NSCDC that his wife working with the Jigawa State College of Education (COE), Gumel, missed the enrollment exercise because of an ailment and was given the contact of Mr Kingsley who did the enrollment in her place of work, but that he solicited N10,000 before she could be registered.
The husband then asked his wife to record every detail of her conversations with the suspect.
He presented the record before the Government official which included call records, serial numbers of the new notes given, bank account details of the suspect which he forwarded via SMS to his wife, a copy of the customised envelope used in putting the money.
The suspect will soon be charge to court for appropriate action, Raye24reporters learnt.
