In a Facebook post yesterday, BSAC disclosed that Abdou Karim was arrested on Thursday and is currently detained at the Basse Police Station for allegedly going around collecting money from communities and shopkeepers and issuing them false receipts while falsely identifying himself as a revenue collector of the Council.
The post reads below:
The Basse Area Council regrets to draw the attention of the public, most especially our taxpayers and residents of the Upper River Region, to a suspected fraudulent activity involving one of our staff, Abdou Karim Carew.
Abdou Karim was arrested on Thursday and is currently detained at the Basse Police Station for allegedly going around collecting money from communities and shopkeepers and issuing them false receipts while falsely identifying himself as a revenue collector of the Council.
