Nwanaji has been accused of operating a fake Facebook account in the name of
the Director-General of the Department of State Service, DSS, Mr. Lawan Daura,
he has been arrested in Lagos State.
Nwanaji, who uses the fake
account to dupe unsuspecting job seekers, was arrested after he circulated fake
messages on the social media that the service was recruiting.
Confirming the arrest in a
statement issued in Abuja on Friday, the spokesperson for the DSS, Mr. Tony
Opuiyo, said, “Nwanaji had opened a Facebook account in the name of the
Director-General of the SSS and had been using it to defraud unsuspecting
members of the public, who he promised jobs in the service.
“His arrest was sequel to
investigation arising from the messages circulating in the social media that
the service was recruiting.
“Further investigation is
being undertaken to arrest Nwanaji’s collaborators in the scam,” Opuiyo added,
urging the public to disregard the falsehood.

falsehood originated from Nwanaji that the service was recruiting.
He dismissed the claim,
saying the DSS was not embarking on any recruitment exercise currently.

should be noted that employment into the service was always conducted in the
most transparent manner in line with laid down procedures and processes.
