Operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Wednesday raided the headquarters of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) in Abuja, over alleged mismanagement of the N90 billion intervention for the 2024 hajj.
The anti-graft operatives who stormed the Hajj house shut down official activities in some strategic offices, including the office of the chief executive officer, finance and procurement departments, a source told The Guardian.
The source who prefers to be anonymous said the sting operation, which lasted several hours has further brought the commission under public scrutiny on the appropriation of N90 billion subsidy granted for this year’s hajj.
Apparently not satisfied with the available records, the anti-graft agency went away with the commission’s director of procurement for further investigation, our source said.
