Edoho explained that when he made more enquiries, it was discovered that the pastor and the syndicate have collected N32,000 from each person after they issued fake form to fill preparatory for departure to unknown offshore location for the job. “On enquiries, we discovered that they have collected N32,000 from each person on that ground. We informed other youth leaders in the area and resolved that this kind of fraudulent activity can not happen in our village and the police whisked them away to Eket police station where they were interrogated.”
” There was no originating document from Agip Oil company to show that they were working for the firm. I was with the DPO in his office in Eket and we could not find any paper to back up what they claimed and the police detained them,” he said
