Police in Lilongwe have arrested a 47-year old man, Dibious MPHANJE on suspicion that he has been obtaining money from people on the pretext that he would recruit them in return.
MPHANJE was allegedly posing as an officer from Plan International Malawi and used to dupe Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) holders from Nathenje, Kamphata, Area 22 and 25 in Lilongwe.
According to the police, the suspect was telling people that Plan International Malawi is recruiting MSCE holders to carry out a Primary School Dropout Survey that would run for three months from January 2022.
Lilongwe Police Station Public Relations Officer Inspector Hastings CHIGALU said MPHANJE was arranging a date to meet at New Building Society (NBS) Bank with the job seekers, demanding each of them to bring K5, 000 for opening of bank accounts and K7, 000 for the purported organization, respectively.
