Firstclass newsline gathered that the police in Lagos have arrested a
19-year-old polytechnic student, Emmauel Eto, for allegedly operating
a fakeFacebookaccount of a former Governor of Lagos State and the
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.
Firstclass newsline learnt that Eto was arrested on Saturday, May 9,
by operatives of the State Intelligence Bureau of the Lagos State
Police Command.
The police said the suspect was apprehended following a complaint made
by one Idowu Adeyemi that an unknown person, impersonating as Tinubu,
created aFaceboookaccount in same name, and swindled some job seekers.
Firstclass newsline gathered that Eto allegedly told members of the
public, through the fakeFacebookaccount, that there were available
employment opportunities in the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation and other government agencies.
He also allegedly requested that interested applicants should pay the
sum of N26,850, which was employment and processing charges.
The police said the items recovered from the suspect were six SIM
cards, 13 empty SIM card packs, six photographs of a white man, and
one I-pad.
Speaking with firstclass newsline crew on Wednesday, Eto, who hails
from Oleh in the Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State,
said it was another student in the polytechnic who trained him.
He said, "I am studying Mechanical Engineering at the polytechnic. I
am in my second year. This whole thing started in January 2015. It was
a colleague, Kelvin, who gave me the idea. I don't know Tinubu and
have not met him. My friend gave me the idea, and it actually worked
because three job seekers paid money into my bank account.
"I also have phone numbers from the United Kingdom and the United
States of America which I used to communicate with victims. It is just
three persons I have duped so far."
The Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, said the command would
not fail to bring all criminally minded persons to justice.
He said, "The command will not rest on its oars to ensure that any
crime committed is punished and the offenders apprehended. The
suspect, who posed as a prominent Nigerian on theFacebookand other
social media platforms, has confessed to the crime and investigation
is ongoing."
