Mr Oshodin who is a retiree of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), allegedly duped over 25 persons by collecting huge sums amounting to over Six million naira from them with a promise of helping them to secure jobs in the University.
The suspect was paraded alongside others by the Edo State Commissioner of Police, DanMallam Mohammed, in Benin City, the state capital, for criminal offences.
“I did not collect the money alone, I was contacted by a staff of UNIBEN identified as Christy Oni, in the Department of Theatre Arts to look for persons seeking employment in the institution, which I did. I cannot actually say the exact amount collected from the applicants but I know it’s in millions of naira.
“She contacted me for the job, I gave the deceased UNIBEN staff (Christy) N1.2 million. I have already told them I will pay them back, but they should give me a little time.
“I was caught inside UNIBEN when one of the victims saw me and raised the alarm.
