A 32-year-old blogger, Sylvester Victor Augustus, has been arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS), for allegedly cloning its official website to carry out a fake recruitment scheme.

The suspect, identified as a content creator and graduate of the University of Uyo, was arrested at his residence on Akpan Eno Street, Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, on Thursday.

According to the DSS, Augustus created a counterfeit version of its official website to advertise a fictitious recruitment drive.

The scheme targeted unsuspecting individuals with the promise of job opportunities.

It reportedly involved soliciting payments from job seekers under the pretence of processing their applications.

The DSS had earlier issued a disclaimer, categorically discrediting the recruitment announcement as a scam and urging the public to disregard it.

A DSS source, speaking to Vanguard on Friday morning, confirmed the arrest and stated, “The suspect is currently in custody and will soon be arraigned in court.”
