Operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) have arrested a 32-year-old man Sylvester Victor Augustus for cloning the service’s website in which a notice was placed to falsely inform Nigerians that the agency was recruiting.
Dateline Nigeria learnt that Augustus, who claimed to be a gaduate of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO), a blogger and content creator, is a native of Abak Local Government Area in Akwa-Ibom State.
He was arrested by DSS operatives on Thursday at his residence on Akpan Eno Lane in Abak, Abak LGA.
Augustus had cloned the DSS website and created a fake online recruitment notice, with the intent of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
The DSS had promptly dismissed the post as “fake” and cautioned members of the public not to fall victim to the antics of fraudsters.
He will soon be arraigned in court.
