The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned an officer with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Abubakar Aseku, for an alleged N17.6 million fraud at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Apo, Abuja.
He was arraigned on a nine-count charge of corruption and abuse of office for allegedly receiving salaries from two additional government agencies while still employed by the NIS.
The ICPC’s spokesman, Demola Bakare, who confirmed the news in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, said the defendant allegedly received N4.2million in salaries from the Nasarawa State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in 2015 while serving as a school teacher despite being an active officer of the NIS.
