Topic: FG Set To Recruits Massively Into The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps

There are indications that the Federal Government is set to recruit massively


into the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in order to meet


local and international security challenges facing the country.


This is even as the Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro made public, plans


to seek permission for additional hands into the Corps from the presidency. A


move, which he said was geared towards deepening the operational services of the


Corps, who have demonstrated absolute commitment and determination to bring to


an end the insurgency that has bedeviled the country in recent times.


Comrade Moro who expressed satisfaction at the achievements of the NSCDC , at


the just concluded Civil Defence Officers Summit in Sauka , Abuja, said the


move, was a quick response to the recognition of the services of the Corps in


averting security challenges in different parts of the country in 2012 .

Recently, job seekers patronized cyber cafes in their numbers to fill online


application for recruitment into the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps,


NSCDC. In the process, some of them reportedly paid an unspecified amount into


designated bank accounts while others made cash payments to some persons


acclaimed to be consultants to the Corps.


But indications are that the online registration done on the following websites;


www.nscdc.wapka.mobi; www.federaljob.com; www.ministryofinteriorrecruitment.com


and www..com, was a mere device to extort money from prospective job


seekers.


So far, the Corps said it had arrested a total of 560 suspects in connection


with the nefarious act. Among the arrested persons was a separate syndicate of


three members who masqueraded themselves as the Commandant-General’s aides.


Spokesman for the Corps, Okeh Emmanuel explained that the arrest was made


following disturbing reports on employment racketeering. ” Worried by this


report, the Anti-graft section of the Corps intensified efforts in unveiling


those behind the shady business.


It is on this basis that the Corps decided to work hand-in-hand with the EFCC


and ICPC to clamp down on fraudsters who are internet scammers and impersonators


defrauding applicants of their hard earned money.


The Corps’ dragnet in tracking down fraudsters using her name to defraud


applicants yielded positive result as luck ran out on a three-man syndicate who


impersonated the Commandant-General’s aides claiming to be staff of the Corps.


The gang comprises one Mr. Wilfred Ahatuamen who is the principal suspect and


claimed to be an aide to the Commandant-General with one Miss Grace Benedict,


his girlfriend who also claimed to be the Commandant-General’s Secretary,


alongside Ikechukwu John who is one of the accomplices.


The said group collected the sum of N280,000.00 from one Mr. Bojor Bobori under


false pretense that they were going to offer him job in the Corps and that he is


to pay the balance of N20,000.00 when the appointment letter is issued to him”


Okeh stated further that ” the said persons have been interrogated and will be


handed over to the EFCC for further interrogation and prosecution in order to


demonstrate transparency and sincerity to those with contrary views,


misconceptions and misguided opinions, who have at one time or the other written


against the Corps’ credibility with a view to denting her image, that the Corps’


integrity is intact and thus it cannot be traded for any paltry sum in the name


of employment.
