SLP Media & Communications Unit RANGERS MANPOWER SOLUTIONS Ltd IN ALLEGED FRAUD INVESTIGATION It has been brought to the notice of Sierra Leone Police senior officers that a limited company registered in Sierra Leone with foreign nationals as shareholders has collected moneys to the tune of around Le 1.4billion from students and unemployed young people in this country for the purpose of finding them work placements in Canada, Finland and Australia. The company was publicly launched with much fanfare with the directors presenting a very formidable front as a legitimate venture. They seem to have used the names and profiles of people within the society and presented itself with much official credence to back up their scam to the extent that the due diligence searches made by the unsuspecting young people proved to have been a façade of official sanction and credibility. Chairman of the affected youths who have set up a ten man committee, Sahr Moses Yonga made a brief statement to the SLP Media Communications Unit expressing their dismay at the manner in which the company, Rangers Manpower Solutions Ltd used a fake front to deprive them of an average of US$ 3,5OO each. Up to 215 students have been fleeced by this company. Deputy Inspector General of Police, Richard Moigbe, has assured the disaffected youths that now that a comprehensive report has been provided to the Sierra Leone Police, the responsible agency in these matters, the CID will undertake a thorough investigation to find and bring the named culprits to justice in Sierra Leone. Some of the people whose face and persona was used in the operations of the company have been named. The police will use all necessary means at their disposal to bring these people in for questioning so as to build a better picture of what actually happened and how could be addressed for the benefit of these poor students and youths who have been so callously defrauded. In the meantime, the Police admonished the youths to keep well within the law and to await the outcome of their complaint and further police investigation. A member of the youth committee, William Dauda, who was vociferous in putting their complaints across, has implored the Sierra Leone Police to be vigilant in their investigations and have also provided some names to Police of those who in their opinion are culpable in this grand fraud. The youths engaged in wide ranging discussions on their plight with the Deputy Inspector General of Police and other senior members of the Police force at Police Headquarters, George Street on Tuesday 24th June 2014. They have asked for some recompense by way of refunds of the moneys they had loaned from friends and relatives or otherwise for their plight to be better advanced by way of job opportunities. Deputy Inspector General of Police Richard Moigbe moved swiftly on to reconstitute the investigations team to include the Trans National Organized Crime Unit (TOCU), Head of CID, the Chief Immigration Officer and some of the youth representatives. He then invited them to brief the Honorable Vice President, Alhaji Chief Samuel Samsumana at his offices. This briefing was to provide the VP with a clear description of the young people’s plight and to seek further directions on what could be done on their case.
