NSCDC Nabs Man For Allegedly Duping Facebook Friend, Rev Father.

Men of the Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corps, NSCDC, in Ondo State have
arrested one Arowolo Femi for duping a girl
he met on the Facebook of N850,000 and a
Reverend Father.
Arowolo, according to the state Command
of the NSCDC, duped the cleric of his
Honda Accord 2007 model with number plate CU
730RSH under the pretext that he would help him
sell the car.
A statement by the image-maker of the Command,
Mr Kayode Balogun in Akure said the suspect was
arrested in Akure after duping a girl whom he met
on social network.
Balogun said in March 2013, the suspect duped one
reverend father (name withheld) of his Honda
Accord 2007 model by lying to his younger sister
that he would marry her. She then introduced him
to the reverend and he prayed for them.
The suspect later told the Reverend Father that he
was a car dealer to which the Reverend told him he
wanted to sell his Honda Accord car 2007 model.
The suspect then collected the car, promising to
help him sell it in Lokoja but later ran away with
the car in March this year.
Balogun said effort to reach the suspect since then
had been futile until he was arrested in Akure.
According to the statement, the suspect was invited
to Akure by the girl she met on facebook after they
have been friends for a month.
Balogun added that the suspect after meeting the
girl passed the night in her house but in the night
the suspect checked her phone and found out that
she had huge amount of money in her account and
pleaded with her to lend him N850,000 to clear
some of his goods at the port in Lagos.
When it dawned on the girl that the suspect who
came back the second day was about to dupe her
she reportedly contacted men of NSCDC who came
to invite the suspect for questioning.
The statement said that the state commandant,
Alhaji Popoola Waheed Bamidele has advised
member of the public to avoid dating people they
don't know on social network.
Bamidele said the rate at which people have been
duped on social network recently has been on
increase and charged women to be careful with the
use of social network.
The commandant said the car recovered from the
suspects will be handed over to the Reverend while
the N850, 000 he collected from the woman will be
recovered.
Bamidele added that the suspect would be charged
to court accordingly for prosecution.
