"On May 3, at about 5.00 p.m, personal assistant to the SSG to Kwara State government, Alhaji Majeed Ambali, brought one Wasiu Adeleke with three other complainants to our office on the offence of fraud, criminal conspiracy and impersonation in the name of SSG.
"From our investigation, it was revealed that Wasiu Adeleke works in conjunction with one Abiodun Adeshina, who was equally arrested and they have confessed to the crime of defrauding people in the name of the office of the SSG to Kwara State government," he said.
The civil defence boss said Adeleke introduced Adeshina to the four victims as personal assistant to Kwara SSG, adding that the application and forms for employment were submitted through Alhaji Ambali at the SSG’s office, Ilorin.
"Through Adeshina, he promised to award victims a contract of constructing drainages and culverts through the office of the SSG, in Ilorin," he said.
While calling on people of to be wary of those who had been using names of many personalities to swindle innocent people in the state, Yerima warned the members of the public to be careful in doing business with fraudulent people in the society.
He said the two suspects would be charged to court after thorough investigation of the matter.
