Nemesis has caught up with 3 young men for issuing fake appointment letters of Adamawa State Government to 2 innocent job seekers.
The 3 young men have since been remanded in prison custody after they were apprehended and arraigned before chief magistrate court I for criminal conspiracy, forgery and cheating.
Sani Ahmed, 29, Abel Joseph, 25 and Adoration John, 25 of Jimeta in Yola North Local Government Area duped Fatima Lawan Mohammed and Yusuf Attah N1million with the letters.
The trio were said to have criminally conspired and collected the money from their unsuspecting victims and issued them fake appointment letters in August, 2021
NEWS PLATFORM learnt that Fatima and Attah who were happy to have secured government jobs after collecting their appointment letters from Sani, stayed for more than 4 months without anybody calling them for regularisation.
It was after long stay at home without any contact to that effect from the affected state ministries that they began to suspect whether the appointment letters actually emanated from the government.
NEWS PLATFORM gathered that Fatima and Attah reported the matter to the police on the 21st February, 2022, after which Sani, the 1st defendant was arrested.
After investigation, it was found out that the appointment letters were printed at a business centre in Nasarawo Jimeta Yola operated by other defendants.
The defendants pleaded guilty after they were charged before the court by ASP Rejoice Stephen.
The presiding judge, chief magistrare Mohammed Abdullahi Digil, adjourned the case to the 21st March, 2022 for summary trial based on the plea of the defendants.
