The Debt Management Office (DMO) has vowed to deal with any of its staff responsible for leaking official documents.

According to a statement issued Saturday evening, the DMO said it “will brief relevant security agencies in the country to thoroughly investigate the sources of the documents”.

The reason for involving security agencies, the DMO said, is “with a view to bringing the perpetrators to book in line with Public Service Rules No. 030401 and 030402, which prescribes dismissal for unauthorised disclosure of official information as a serious act of misconduct”.

Vanguard newspaper had run a story titled “Alleged N1.08bn corruption scandal hits DMO”. Reacting to the story, the DMO said “the sponsors of the story are disgruntled elements who have not only breached the Civil Service Rules but have also contravened laid down procedures for dealing with official matters”.

It went on to state that “these officials have resorted to illegally leaking official documents due to their recent redeployment; have colluded with other disgruntled persons who have failed in their attempts to control the running of the affairs of the DMO, which has blocked their ability to pilfer public funds”.

The DMO added that “the story referred to documents that, on their own, are incomplete and do not reflect the whole story or the purpose of any transaction”.

DMO denied claims that events and travels by officials of the DMO either did not take place or did not hold as “false and an attempt to discredit the impeccable records of the organisation. These speak to their desperation to give the institution a bad name”.

The nation’s debt managers described itself as “an accountable, transparent and responsible organisation that works in accordance with laid down civil service procedures”.

It noted that “it is highly regarded by multilateral agencies and financial institutions as a reputable government agency”.

The Vanguard report, the DMO lamented, has “been twisted and distorted with the intention to misinform the general public and discredit the institution.

There's no smoke without fire...

The DMO are trying to cover their corrupt tracks by dishing out this threat.

The sponsors of the alleged N1.02billion corruption scandal story which the DMO are trying to hide are all working in the same office..

"Na rat when dey inside house dey tell he friends when dey outside say food dey pot"

The nation’s debt managers described itself as “an accountable, transparent and responsible organisation that works in accordance with laid down civil service procedures”.

Then Buhari is Lincoln, Gandhi, Churchill all rolled into one.

Kudos to the civil servants who leaked the documents. They deserve national award from Buhari

As a Nigerian If I call you a Corrupt man, pls no vex.....You soppose understand say na Pot dey try to call Kettle black so.....

Dat has become the new normal under dis govt.. Leak reports of their criminal activities and boom!! U become d enemy.. Instead of dem to conduct an internal enquiry into those allegations dey will sweep it under the carpet and everything is back to how it used to b

APC is a party of rogues and anarchist

If they sack them, make them remember all this jobless nairalander especially that dude that has been shouting damm nigarr since 1990, he realy needs that job

Whether the documents were leaked or not, it doesn't rule out the fact that Nigeria is currently swimming in the ocean of debt in which corruption is a major contributing factor.

Hmmm

Nonsense. They should be more concerned about explaining how they expended over N1billion illegally instead of chasing the staff that leaked the documents around.

I support the sack because no one likes a snitch. Today they might leak documents for the benefit of Nigerians and everyone is clapping for them, tomorrow they might start leaking sensitive information to foreign spies.

Leaking information on looting is a crime.but looting is not a crime.

Let the organisation's rules operate. The whistle blower could do same without leaking documents.

I'm sure it's not this Buhari that you're talking about

Rules on secrecy were broken no doubt, but let's leave the messenger and focus on the message itself.

OK

Things meant for the office should be kept in the office and public for the public

Check my signature

Interesting.

Corruption smells everywhere you enter in Nigeria... Only an effective death sentence can deter corrupt and potentially corrupt public officials

Foreign spies kill u there, who will waste his/her time spying on a useless country like Nigeria

Same people want to manage church

The guy should approach the court. Nonsense

Rather than coming out to explain their side of the story so we can know the truth, they are busy trying to gag the whistle blower



I'm not really surprised though,cos that's the trademark of this failed administration.

Where is FOI ?

Ok
