The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has arrested 100 victims of a recruitment scam while on their way to Kaduna to participate in bogus NSCDC recruitment training and documentation.

Parading the victims and the suspect at the NSCDC headquarters in Abuja on Monday, the Corps Public Relations Officer, Olushola Odumosu, a Deputy Corps Commander, explained that the victims converged on the Kubwa General Hospital, Abuja, on Saturday, from where they took off to Kaduna in buses.

He stated, “More importantly also, the suspected mastermind,, Mr Gabriel Kingsley, was also nabbed by the gallant female squad and brought back from Kaduna to the NSCDC national headquarters for further investigation and interrogation.”
