The Kwara State Commandant of the
Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Mr. Adeyinka Ayinla, on
Monday paraded a suspect, Mr. Hammer Olalekan, before journalists for
claiming to be a doctor.....
Olalekan who hails from Odo Otin Local
Government Area of Osun State was arrested at Aboto Oja in Asa Local
Government Area of Kwara State.
Adeyinka, who spoke through the
command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Henry Bilesanmi, said while
supposedly treating a blind man, the fake doctor transferred N290,000
into his personal account.
But Olalekan was said to have run out of
luck when the patient’s son went to make a withdrawal on behalf of his
father but discovered that there was no money left in the account.
Adeyinka said subsequent request for a statement of the account then showed that the fake doctor carried out the withdrawal.
He was only discovered to have no qualification after his arrest.
“Olalekan is under investigation and
would be charged to court very soon. Exhibits found on him are syringe
and needles, blood pressure machine, charms, ATM cards, etc,” the NSCDC
boss said.
Meanwhile, the commandant also paraded, Mr. Ayo Adewole, who was allegedly involved in job racketeering.
He allegedly duped unsuspecting members
of the public of various amounts of money under the guise of giving them
employment into NSCDC.
Adeyinka stated that the suspect would also be charged to court very soon.
