The Independent Corrupt Practices and Related
Offences Tribunal has commenced a
clampdown on very wealthy civil servants.
Already, the agency has seized 24 property
and several cars from three civil servants with
one of them having 18 property.
A document obtained from the Office of the
Chairman of the ICPC, Mr. Ekpo Nta, with the
title ‘Notice of Seizure of Movable and
Immovable Properties Pursuant to Section 45
(4) a – (b) of the Corrupt Practices and other
Related Offences Ac 2000, revealed that the
commission seized the property from three
officials of the Ministry of Niger Delta.
It stated that the property was seized because
they were “excessive of the emoluments of the
affected officers.”
Although the document, dated August 11,
2015, is silent on the status of the officials, it
was gathered that the three officials are all
principal account officers of the ministry,
which has been one of the focuses of
investigations by the ICPC in recent times.
The Niger Delta ministry officers listed in the
document are Poloma Kabiru Nuhu, Mangset
Longyl Dickson and Daniel Obah.
The ICPC boss said the decision to seize the
property would be served on the appropriate
Land Registries and Departments in all the
states where the property are situated.
He stated, “The commission is investigating a
matter involving some staff (members) of the
Niger Delta Ministry, with certain movable and
immovable property owned by the said staff.
“The commission is of the opinion based on
the aforementioned investigation that these
movable and immovable property owned by
these people who are staff of the Ministry of
Niger Delta Affairs are excessive, having
regards to their present emoluments and all
other relevant circumstances. The commission
hereby notifies the entire public that all
movable and immovable properties owned by
these staff (members) and listed hereunder
are seized.”
According to the ICPC boss, one of the
officers, Nuhu, has 10 hectares of land,
covered by Right of Occupancy at Kuje valued
at N50m.
It was stated that the same officer has an
uncompleted duplex at Diamond Estate, Apo,
Abuja, that is worth N90m.
Nta also said Nuhu has 16 plots of land which
are all covered by Certificate of Occupancy in
different parts of Gwagwalada, Abuja.
Another civil servant on the ICPC list, Dickson,
is said to have a plot of land at Kubwa
District, Cadastral Zone, Abuja. The property is
valued at N7m.
The third official, Obah, is said to own
different plots of land in Abuja and Port
Harcourt, Rivers State.
Nta said Obah has a four-bedroom duplex at
Karsana South District, Abuja, valued at
N60m.
He is also said to have a plot of land at
Ozuoba, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Other plots of land said to belong to Obah are
located in Umuodili Odubo Community in
Rivers that is worth N16.5m; Olipobo
Rumuekini Layout, Obio Akpor Local
Government Area valued at N18m and another
plot at Livingstone Estate Umuogodo, Igbo
Etche in Obio Akpor Local Government of the
Rivers State.
The PUNCH had exclusively reported on July
30 that the Federal Government’s anti-
corruption operatives had been sent after
‘super rich’ public officers who had multiple
property and other assets suspected to have
been the rewards of graft.
According to the report, the searchlight of the
anti-corruption agents was on civil servants
that possess questionable property in the
Federal Capital Territory.
It was also reported that operatives in the Assets Tracing, Recovery and Management Unit of the ICPC had been asked to haul in suspects for
interrogation and recovery of ill-gotten assets in
their possession.
The ICPC was reported to have strengthened
the ATRMU by posting more personnel to the
unit to ensure the success of its campaign.
On Wednesday, the Auditor-General of the
Federation, Mr. Samuel Ukura, had recommended the recovery of about N183bn being funds meant for the development of Niger Delta but which was allegedly diverted for other purposes.
Ukura, who stated this in three special audit
reports to the Clerk of the National Assembly,
Mr. Salisu Maikasuwa, explained that the
amount was discovered in the periodic checks
carried out by his office on the activities and
programmes of the Niger Delta Development
Commission between 2008 and 2012.
According to him, N70.4bn was paid as
mobilisation to various contractors who never
reported to site, while N90.4bn was the extra-
budgetary expenditure for heads and sub-
heads without approval by the legal
authorities.
He also said N10bn was tax deductions
without evidence of remittance to the Federal
Inland Revenue Service; N5.8bn was payment
to contractors for projects not executed,
stalled or abandoned, while N1.2bn was
undeducted taxes from contractors.
Ukura added that N3.1bn was transfer made
to unauthorised accounts; N1.7bn was staff
outstanding staff advances which were never
accounted for and N785m out of N1.1bn
meant for the supply of furniture to various
schools in Delta State was diverted.
He explained that the funds for the furniture
supply was certified paid whereas inspection
carried out by the Auditor-General’s office
revealed that no single chair was distributed
during the period under review.

Dont mind the jobless e-rat.

This is what we supported and voted for - food, probity, accountability, order, and justice

This is one of the dividends of democracy we have always craved for.

But we need more, more and more. We have been hearing of bigger thieves whose loots the Nation has not moved equally decisively to recover. Actions like this are lessons to light-fingered civil servants but we need deterrent for Governors, Lawmakers, Judges, and the Presidency too.

I remember some years back a young male student in South Korea went to the front of the federal parliamentary building and set himself on fire in protest against a govt policy he wasn't happy about.

If that has faded from memory, of course, you cannot forgot the cause of the Orange revolution in North African that resulted in a phenomenon of global dimension. Who was the hero? A common street trader who plied his trade on a wheelbarrow.

In other words, bro, time spent on NL writing and posting epistles may not even make a scratch.

BUT if you take your destiny in your hand proceed to the National Assembly and swallow a GRENADE in protest, you will be guaranteed the fastest route to fame and glory.

You can trust me, temitemi, orerascal, biafranqueen, mogidi and even beremx and passinshot to write a deserving epitaph.

Choiii! 3 people 24 properties. My head ooooo

It is not too much of a sacrifice na. Imagine the adulation that will follow. Even UN will stand still.

If one or both of your parents are public officers working in busy and important office from level 8 and above within the past 30 years, you may have been raised with proceeds from corruption.

Most Nigerian Students are too corrupt that they can't survive the rules of the school system including avoiding examination malpractice and sorting that are prevalent in our school system today. Youths have lost the morality to shout or condemn corrupt people in our society.

Be among the few to stay away from corruption in any shape or form. I am in for a corrupt free society, tell your parents and siblings to follow me as you become a crusader against corruption (not suspicion or allegations) today.

The foundation of corruption in every facet of our society started when the government and corporate bodies started owing their workers (salaries, allowances, gratuity or any emolument) which initiated the sharp practices and corrupted the stringent principled Staff.

Stop owing workers including your gardeners, cooks, maids and drivers.

Tell your parents and siblings to treat the above mentioned category of people with respect and dignity. Encourage them to value themselves better than billions the world can offer through the back door.
