Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have nabbed one Sylvester Victor Augustus allegedly behind the recent fake recruitment notice of the agency.
The 32-year-old suspect was arrested for allegedly cloning the Service’s website in which a notice was placed to falsely inform Nigerians the agency was recruiting.
Augustus, a native of Abak Local Government Area in Akwa-Ibom State, was tracked and arrested by DSS operatives on Thursday at his residence on Akpan Eno Lane in Abak, Abak LGA.
He claimed to be a graduate of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) , a blogger and content creator.
“Augustus had cloned the DSS website on which he created a fake online recruitment notice, apparently with the intent of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public,” a source confided.
The DSS had promptly tagged the post “fake” and cautioned members of the public not to fall victim to the antics of fraudsters.
