ICPC Boss, Ekpo Nta• Quizzes ex-Court of Appeal Justice, Tsamiya over alleged N200m bribe
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has recovered two high-rise buildings in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and N18 million from civil servants.
Civil servants in the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) and undeserving beneficiaries were also indicted over alleged breach of the monetisation policy.
In year 2005, under the monetisation policy of former President Olusegun Obansanjo, the Federal Government sold some of its houses occupied by civil servants to them to reduce the cost of governance.
But in recent times, ICPC has been inundated with petitions from patriotic Nigerians, against alleged widespread abuse of the policy by beneficiaries and some government workers.
The commission, while acting on the petitions, discovered through preliminary investigation that a number of civil servants in OHCSF, who benefited from the policy, had not paid for the houses since 2005.
