According to a reliable source, Augustus, a native of Abak Local Government Area in Akwa-Ibom State, was tracked down and arrested by DSS operatives at his residence on Akpan Eno Lane in Abak, Abak LGA, on Thursday.
He claimed to be a gaduate of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) , a blogger and content creator.
Augustus had cloned the DSS website on which he created a fake online recruitment notice, apparently with the intent of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
