An FCT High Court sitting in Jabi on Monday
sentenced two civil servants, Mohammed Audu
and Yusuf Ayodeji, to 105 years imprisonment,
for fraudulent activities.
The convicts who were Procurement Officers in the
Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation,
were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) in July 2016.
Audu was docked on a 10-count charge while Ayodeji
faced a five-count charge, both bordering on
conspiracy, abuse of office and awarding contracts to
companies in which they had interests, among others.
The convicts were brought pursuant to Section 26 of
the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related
Offences Commission (ICPC) Act 2000, punishable
under Section 12 of the same Act.
They were in charge of a World Bank project known
as Government Integrated Financial Management
Information System (GIFMIS), an economic reform
governance project.
The judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, in his judgment,
sentenced Audu to seven years imprisonment on
each of the 10-count charge, amounting to 70 years.
Halilu also sentenced Ayodeji to seven years each on
each of the five-counts charge, amounting to 35
years imprisonment.
According to him, the convicts took advantage of
their positions as procurement officers to perpetrate
the criminal acts at the World Bank project.
According to an earlier report by NAIJ.com, the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC)
on Wednesday, November 1, arraigned nine suspects
for allegedly being responsible for several ghost
workers on the payroll of the federal government.
The suspects include Usman Dayo, Osuntope
Opeyemi, Johnson Adedokun, Ojeido Sylvanus,
Oyebode Ayodeji, Florence Dada, Olaolu Dada,
Blessing Ejeh and Aderibigbe Taiwo.
Many of the suspects are civil servants from
government agencies like the Office of the
Accountant General of the Federation, federal ministry
of agriculture and water resources; environment
ministry and the federal civil service commission
(FCSC). |
