FRSC Warns Public against Recruitment Scam

Kasim Sumaina in Abuja

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) yesterday warned the public of the increasing activities of fraudulent individuals, including some posing as staff of the Corps, who extort unsuspecting members of the public with false promises of securing them employment in the Corps.

The scammers, the Corps hinted, go as far as issuing fake call-up letters to training schools and the FRSC Academy in a desperate attempt to deceive innocent job seekers and defraud them of their hard-earned money.

A statement issued by the Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC headquarters, Abuja, Olusegun Ogungbemide, read: “Consequent upon the foregoing, the Corps wishes to categorically state that FRSC recruitment processes are transparent, merit-based, and strictly communicated through national newspapers, television stations, and our official channels.

“At no time did the Corps mandate its personnel, or representatives, to demand money or any form of gratification from applicants in exchange for employment.

“Members of the public are therefore strongly advised to disregard any such offers and report perpetrators to the nearest FRSC Command, law enforcement agency, or through the Corps’ official communication platforms.

“To this end, the Corps wishes to reiterate its resolve to uphold integrity, fairness, and transparency in all recruitment exercises. Nigerians are urged to remain vigilant and verify all information from official FRSC sources.”

    Haske Refutes EFCC’s Fraud Allegations, Says He Is Not on the Run

    A businessman, Mr. Bashir Abdullahi Haske, has dismissed recent allegations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accusing him of involvement in a multi-million dollar fraud and of evading justice under the guise of a medical emergency.

    In a statement by the Public Relations Officer of his office in Abuja on Tuesday, Haske said contrary to EFCC’s claims, he voluntarily honoured the anti-graft agency’s invitation, appeared before investigators and provided comprehensive answers to all questions.

    “I am not on the run. I am committed to clearing my name and cooperating with lawful investigations. All I ask is that EFCC conducts its duties within the ambit of the rule of law and without political interference,” he said.

    The statement further noted: “The attention of Mr. Bashir Abdullahi Haske has been drawn to recent allegations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accusing him of involvement in multi-million dollar fraud and claiming that he is evading justice under the guise of a medical emergency. Mr. Haske categorically denies these allegations and wishes to set the record straight.”

    According to the statement, Haske submitted documentary evidence clearly proving the legitimacy of his financial dealings and businesses.

    Despite his cooperation, EFCC allegedly denied him administrative bail, even after he satisfied all conditions imposed. 

    He alleged that he was unlawfully detained, during which his health deteriorated severely, resulting in a near-fatal collapse in custody, adding that it was only after the commission was allegedly confronted with the grave implications of his possible death in detention that he was hurriedly released on bail.

    Haske is currently undergoing medical treatment for complications he claimed were directly caused by the unlawful detention. 

    He described EFCC’s fresh claims that he is “running away” as both shocking and disingenuous, given that his medical situation was allegedly precipitated by the commission’s own misconduct.

    The businessman stressed that he has no political ambition or involvement, noting that he is neither a politician nor a supporter of any political actor, adding that his marriage to a political figure should not be exploited as a pretext for persecution.

    He also accused EFCC of attempting to drag Interpol into what he called a politically motivated campaign. 

    “Interpol itself has responsibly affirmed that political witch-hunting falls outside its mandate, yet EFCC has attempted to use the important body to further its unlawful and politically motivated campaign,” the statement said.

    Reiterating his stance, Haske maintained that he is not fleeing from justice and remains ready to provide any information legitimately sought by EFCC, provided such inquiries are carried out in an atmosphere free from intimidation, harassment and political manipulation.

    He urged the EFCC to return to its lawful duty of fighting genuine financial crimes and desist from weaponizing its mandate for political ends.

    Our Expansion to Bridge Housing Gap in Lagos, Says Zularich

    Real estate firm, Zularich Properties, has expanded its footprint in Lagos with the completion and handover of its new residential development, Zularich Residences, in Lagos.

    The firm noted that its expansion was necessary to address the 3.4 million housing deficit in the state and ease rental burden in the state.

    It also announced that as part of its growth initiatives and home ownership accessibility, the commencement of a third batch of land allocations for its Pineapples Estate in Imota, Lagos.

    The Chief Executive Officer of Zularich Properties, Dr. John Paul Enemuoh, described the just-completed estate in the Lekki-Epe axis of the state as a model for excellence and professionalism in real estate.

    While speaking during a presentation ceremony of the residences in Lagos recently, Enemuoh described the project as a major milestone, being the organisation’s first finished residential project in its four years in business.

    “In the middle of last year, we decided to do something different, something sophisticated with a touch of luxury uncommon on this axis, and yet affordable to our clientele, hence, the birth of Zularich Residences. We have done some serviced plots but this is our first residence project consisting of multiple units of 3-bedroom terrace apartments and 4-bedroom fully detached duplexes” he said.

    He reiterated the urgency for state authority to address the excesses of local land speculators, popularly known as Omo Onile, as well as policy somersaults said to be hindering investment opportunities in housing.

    Also at the event, the Chairman of the Lagos Chapter of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), Mr. Tony Aspire Kolawole, praised the project, describing it as a bold step in addressing housing shortages.

    “Real estate is one of the most lucrative investments you can ever make. I salute the courage and integrity of Dr. Enemuoh and his team for daring to do something different in this area. They have also shown consistency in fulfilling promises,” he said.

    Similarly, the Chief Operating Officer of Gracias Global Homes and Property Ltd, Dr. Wale Ponnle, emphasised the project’s relevance to the city’s housing needs.

    “Zularich Residences will help bridge the housing deficit in Lagos and provide a pathway for sustainable development that ensures adequate and secure housing,” Ponle, who is also the Head of Strategy at REDAN Lagos, stated.

    One of the new buyers, Mr. Salami, who acquired one of the 4-bedroom duplexes, remarked: “It took us up to a year to finish paying for the property as the company allowed us to pay bit by bit. I am happy about the payment flexibility and quality of the property,”

    A highlight of the occasion was the presentation of a brand new Toyota Corolla car to a lucky realtor in a raffle draw.
