Fresh fraud cases have been uncovered in offices of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, totalling N83m in Kano, Edo, Kogi, Gombe and Plateau states.

According to a report by Punch, while the board was investigating N31m misappropriated revenue in Edo and N20m in Kano, it was quizzing officials in Plateau and Gombe over N15m and N10m mismanaged in the states respectively. Also, it was learnt that the examination board was investigating the misappropriation of N7m in its office in Kogi State.

Fabian Benjamin, spokesman of JAMB, who confirmed the figures on Friday, said the board would be diligent in its investigations and would not tolerate corrupt practices from any of its officials. “We will monitor with careful scrutiny how workers handled public funds. We are trying to block all leakages and loopholes,” he said. The medium quoted a source as saying that all the workers of the board found to have been involved in corrupt activities being investigated had been suspended while investigations were ongoing.



“What happened was that we had a panel session in Abuja and most of the state coordinators could not account for how some monies were spent or remitted. The coordinator of Kano State could not account for N20m, while the Edo (office) could not account for N31m. In Plateau State, we are looking at N15m. For Kogi State, we have about N7m that is a source of contention while Gombe office has N10m that is also a source of contention. You can then sum it up and know how much corruption ate deep into some officials. The registrar is frank and thorough about the investigations and he has warned to transfer some of the cases to the police and to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.”


A case of N36m allegedly misappropriated by a clerk at the JAMB office in Makurdi, Benue State, Philomena Chieshe, was recently reported by the media. It was reported that Chieshe had claimed in her statement that a mystery snake sneaked into the accounts office and swallowed the cash. Also, another JAMB worker in Nasarawa State, Labaran Tanko, was reported on Wednesday to be undergoing investigation over a suspected fraud involving N26m.


Tanko had claimed that the N26m, which was the worth of unsold Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination scratch cards, got burnt in his car during an accident while he was on his way to remit the cards at the JAMB office in Abuja. Both Chieshe and Tanko are still under investigation.

lion must be involved

One by one, we shall know them

This is terrible

Its an open secret that evey govt agency in Nigeria reeks of corruption. I wonder if corruption will ever stop in this nation cause its a societal problem everyone is guilty one way or the other.

Nigeria is in a very big mess...there's corruption everywhere you look but we're not yet serious about stopping the menace

What kind of damned country is this?!

Hummmm

odogwubiafra:

Is Buhari Jamb 's only employee.

Plus, corruption is being exposed, not hidden.

You are not interested in opposing corruption, you just want your side to win so that you can chop money too.

Same for the buharist too.

Nigeria my country.

These snakes are working.

Even we, the 'Online Holy Ones' are more corrupt than these people EFCC are chasing upandan.
Hypocrates should Cast the First stone

You yourself, are you Right?

All the stolen money reported above happened under the watch of the drunk ineffectual buffoon called Goatluck Jonascam. The current JAMB boss is here to jail the thieves. So read, investigate and understand and stop embarrassing your family on the net.

The problem is that Nigerians see corruption only as a means of making your enemy look bad, so that you can come in his place and eat.

Nigerians better wake up. Corruption is not a game, or a matter of Bubu vs Jona. It is a matter of life and death

But how on earth will a clerk in civil service misappropriate such amount of money without the connivance of the state coordinator and other senior officers. Further investigation is needed.

The report does not say under whose regime the incident happened, and even if it happened under Jonathan, Jonathan did not tell them to go and steal the money, and they should not have used the general corruption under his, or this current regime to steal.

Corruption infested nation!

God deliver us from this plague

Jonathan said something and I think most Nigerians were too timid to understand.

Stealing is not corruption.

If someone steals public fund he should be considered a thief and judged under criminal law as a common theif. When you say he is corrupt you may not likely use criminal law on them.

When embezzlement happens in private institution the culprit is usually tagged a theif with the word "Stolen" attached to whatever sum missing this gives room for such person to be considered a thief not corrupt.

If a politician steals instead of the public seeing him as a theif and be persecuted as a criminal the language changes to corruption.

So why is Buhari being blamed, by the initial poster.
The truth is Nigerians don't know what they want.
