JAMB Official Makes U-turn, Says N36m ‘collected By Superior’ — NOT Snake by dre11(m): 4:36pm On Mar 06, 2018

Philomina Chieshe, the official of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), who claimed that the board’s N36 million was swallowed by a snake, has made a U-turn.

Chieshe, who works as a clerk at the JAMB office in Markurdi, Benue state, had told top officials of the examination body that a “mysterious snake” swallowed the money derived from the sale of JAMB scratch cards.

But when she appeared before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), she confessed that the money was collected by one Samuel Umoru, her superior.

According to The Nation, the EFCC has interrogated Chieshe on several occasions since she made the ridiculous statement in February.

“The interesting aspect of the disclosure is that Chieshe’s statement (on snake swallowing the money) was obtained long before the snake and naira swallowing testimony became public knowledge,” an EFCC official was quoted as saying.

“In all her statements before the EFCC, there was no mention of any episode of any snake and the disappearance of monies in her care.”

“In a fact-sheet regarding the investigations, Chieshe was quoted to have said her superior — the coordinator at the Markurdi office — had asked her to withdraw the N36 million.”

According to the newspaper, the fact-sheet notes that “contrary to her claim before the leadership of the examination body that the N36 million proceeds from sale of scratch cards were eaten up by a snake, Chieshe told operatives of the anti-graft agency that the money was collected piecemeal from her by her coordinator, Mr. Samuel Sale Umoru.

“In one of the statements she volunteered to the EFCC, Chieshe, who is a clerk in the Makurdi office of JAMB, revealed that the coordinator usually asked her to withdraw proceeds of the sale of the scratch cards from her account in two new generation banks — ‘this money I withdrew, the coordinator used it for the office and some time for himself.”

It also quoted her as saying she had been warning Umoru “that it was improper to use the money for miscellaneous expenses in the office or for private purposes but he would not listen.”

The fact-sheet added that the coordinator did not deny the allegations and had been released on administrative bail.

It listed other JAMB officials being probed to include Tanko Labaran, who could not account for N23 million from sale of scratch cards at the Nasarawa office, and Yakubu Jakada who is yet to explain the whereabouts of N20 million e-facilities cards sold in Kano office.

The suspects are said to have been released on bail pending the conclusion of investigation.

People sweat. Despite the fact that the Jamb form is on the high side, coupled with the additional fees charged by those in charge of registration and the stress involved in the entire process,
Some people, Somewhere still divert the money for personal gain with reckless abandon

Sadly, this recant by the staff may not get the huge attention that the initial story got. We sensationalise almost every development and use it as propaganda to push narratives that suits our purpose but we are never interested in the facts of any issue.

Well, I can make an exception for this woman and her blatant white lies because she lives in Benue state; people living there have been under a lot of stress lately.

Their stress caused by the killings, looting, rapes and arson being perperated by Fulani Herdsmen in the state. But do you think she is going to get any reprieve soon? Well, I don't think so -- just read below and you will know why.

Six Reasons Why Herdsmen are Only Nuisances, Need Our Prayers

Nigeria is is unbelievably unsafe at the moment...

Violence and killings have become commonplace. Some people have no compunction for bloodshed. No restraint, no fear of god or belief in the sacredness of life; they made killing their sport.

Yet, these same people or demons have not been correctly categorized. Our government after a long and thorough study of the activities of Fulani Herdsmen, correctly in their wisdom, tagged them criminals.

The decision was based on the following factors identified by leading political, security and cultural organizations around the world:

1. The Fulani herdsmen have in ten years only killed 8,000 people in Nigeria and not the reportedly insulting figure of 6,009 souls perished according to the Food and Agricultural Organisation.

2. The Fulani herdsmen who killed 310 peope in Agatu and 72 recently in Benue had only done so because they were in festive season and decided to wash their hands with the blood of innocent people. There is nothing wrong with craving human blood for hand-washing purposes as it is the right of every Fulani to whet their sanguinary cravings on any non-Fulani.

3. The Fulani herdsmen who sacked whole communities in the middle belt are nuisances. It is however expected that every non-Fulani should accommodate Fulani men when they want to play a little rough play like burning houses and raping pregnant women, cutting open their bellies and sticking their diks inside the stomach of the infant through a orifice cut into the baby's stomach.

4. Those herdsmen burning and killing are just juvenile rascals. They're are nuisances and nothing more. vice president Osibanjo advises that we bring them to god in prayer so that they can amend their ways and lose their blood-lust.

5. It is the right of the Fulani and the Fulani alone to bear arms. Let it be known however, that we are only partial to the ownership of AK47s and regularly seize any other variants. In so doing, we refuse to let bear the accusation that Fulani herdsmen are dangerously armed while infact they live within the confines and privileges of their rights as citizens of the first order in Nigeria.

6. It is an accepted law that anyone who engages the Fulani while he exercises his fundamental right acquires a debt of blood. The right to the settlement of all debts to the seventh generation of an offender, is in and of itself, a core component of Fulani rights.

To sum, the government decided, after critically examining the facts at hand, that the most appropriate categorization of the Fulani should be Criminals in times of great bloodletting, and Nuisances when they cool off, before the next attack

Are they right or wrong? Please tell me.
