In a statement posted on Wednesday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Edafe Bright on his X account said, “The suspect Samson Ibiloma is a suspected fraudster who swindles people of their money in the guise of giving them jobs. He was impersonating the secretary to the Delta State Government Hon Kingsley Emu.
“He registered a sim card, used True Caller to change the name to Hon Kingsley Emu, and then opened a WhatsApp page, used the picture of the SSG as DP. He has so far scammed his victims over Ten Million naira (#10,000,000). Acting on technically generated intelligence, he was arrested by the Command’s Decoy squad,” he added.
The Commissioner of Police thereby urged individuals who had fallen prey to their fraudulent schemes to approach the command’s headquarters or the PPRO office for assistance.
