EFCC Arrests Four Directors Of National Theater by DanielTos(m): 7:06am On Oct 13, 2017 |
Anxiety surrounded the National
Theatre, Lagos, on Thursday as
operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission arrested
four directors of the institution.
They were said to have been arrested
on Wednesday for alleged
embezzlement of government funds .
Such an incident is unusual in the
sector, with the last major arrest
being that of the former Director -
General of the National Gallery of Arts ,
Mr. Joe Musa , about seven years ago.
Musa was arrested and prosecuted by
the EFCC but the court eventually
discharged and acquitted him, as he
was found to be innocent of the
charge. The News Agency of Nigeria reported
that the four directors , including a
woman, were arrested at their Iganmu
office for allegedly diverting “ huge
sums ” of revenue and statutory
allocation into private use . It was said that they failed to remit
revenues realised from the use of
facilities at the National Theatre into
the Federal Government Treasury
Single Account.
The funds were said to include a
N24 m annual rent paid by Nigerian
Breweries Plc for its branded kiosks
and N9 m paid for the use of National
Theatre during the “ Lagos @ 50 ”
celebrations.
Names of the affected officials had not
been given as of Thursday . |
