EFCC Arrests Abba Moro, 2 Others by lordoddy(m): 11:24am On Feb 23, 2016 |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Monday arrested a former Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, over the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) recruitment scam in which no fewer than 20 job seekers died. Also arrested by the anti-graft agency were former Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Anaesthesia Nwaobia, and a deputy director who allegedly facilitated the scam. A source at the commission told an online news medium that the three suspects were picked up in the evening. “They were brought into the commission’s headquarters today yesterday and will be arraigned on a 12-count charge in the Federal High Court Abuja on Tuesday,” the source said. Some of the charges against Mr. Moro and his colleagues include obtaining by false pretence, procurement offences, corrupt practices and money laundering. At least nine job seekers died on March 15, 2014 at the Abuja National Stadium while scrambling to secure seats for a recruitment test into the Nigerian Immigration Service. The stampede ensued after the over 200,000 job seekers scrambled through a poorly organized barricade at the stadium. In Port Harcourt, Rivers State, four applicants died from the stampede while 12 others sustained injuries and were rushed to Rivers State government-owned Braithwaite Memorial Hospital. After the March 15 tragedy, several Nigerians demanded the resignation or dismissal of Mr. Moro and the Comptroller-General of Immigration, David Parradang, as well as their criminal prosecution for involuntary homicide. source: http://authorityngr.com/2016/02/EFCC-arrests-Abba-Moro-2-others/ 1 Like
