Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has paraded two men for various offences bordering on Stealing, obtaining under false pretence , impersonations and fraud.
The suspects Ademiluyi Ayodeji and Innocent Ekpo were arrested in separate locations after committed offences that are punishable under the law of the land .

“The POS operator will then consider his status and allow him to go. Later the POS operator will discover that he or she has been duped.
He has been doing this within Ado Ekiti Metropolis defrauding over twenty five POS operators before men of Counter Terrorism Unit launched a manhunt for him with their dragnet which paid of when he was arrested yesterday.
Preliminary investigation showed that he is not a doctor but an okada rider .
Afolabi added that Innocent Ekpako 26 was arrested in Ikom in Cross River state.
Innocent was alledged to have run away with a huge some of money belonging to his master in Ado Ekiti.
