An alleged conman who specialises in fake recruitment, Kareem Isiaka Taiwo from Ibadan North Local Government has been arrested by security agents in Ibadan.

His target was to defraud people by claiming to be the recruitment officer for the recently launched Oyo State security outfit, known as Amotekun.

It was gathered that Taiwo had on Sunday pasted a notice at the Adamasingba Stadium venue of the State’s recruitment screening center with his name and phone numbers asking interested applicants to contact him.

The management of the outfit got wind of the notice on Monday morning and started a subtle trail of the culprit until he was apprehended at 11:45am. He has been handed over to the security agents for prosecution.

When asked what prompted him, a sobered Kareem Isiaka who claimed to be selling bags of cements said it was the work of the devil expressing regret.

He confessed that only one person had contacted him through his number.

Comfirming the arrest,the Chairman, Oyo State Security Network Agency (Amotekun Corps), Gen. Kunle Toogun (Rtd.) warned the general public to be wary of fraudsters in their quest to drop name of the Corps.

He however used the occasion to inform journalists that screening of applicants into the corps would continue as the exercise had just covered only the Ibadan city axis.

“Those that missed their screening have been called to join others for fresh screening, this will easily pave way for equal participation, although we have encountered so many challenges since we started, some came with forged certificates and documents, you have seen the one that just happened, but we are unrelenting.

“The screening will continue with the less cities, the Oke-Ogun zones one and two, Ido, Ibarapa among others, we want to make the exercise as open and less cumbersome to applicants as possible, the governor has demanded for openness and exactly that we are giving,” he said.

The screening exercise had commenced in the last one week at the Adamasingba stadium, where applicants tendered their certificates to show their readiness to work with the Corps.
