Operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Saifullahi Ismail for suspected involvement in employment fraud.
Head, Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, in a statement on Thursday, said the suspect was arrested at Abakpa New Extension in Kaduna on April 30, 2025, following credible intelligence on his alleged involvement in employment fraud.
Ismail, a technician with Kaduna Electric Distribution Company was arrested based on intelligence linking him and his accomplice, Halima Yakubu Ngulde with obtaining money from job seekers on fraudulent promise of getting job placements for them in the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Army, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, EFCC, and more.
Ngulde was arrested in November 2024 by the EFCC but Ismail had been evading arrest until Wednesday when he was held for the suspected offence.
Items recovered from him include a forged letter of employment by the EFCC. He will be charged in court as soon as investigations are concluded.
