[Photo credit: THISDAYLIVE]The ICPC has urged the federal government to suspend the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission , Ishaq Modibbo Kawu, and 32 other public officers/civil servants currently undergoing corruption trial.
The ICPC said the 33 officials who should be suspended are standing trial for offences such as bribery, certificate forgery, making false statements, conspiracy to steal and outright misappropriation of public funds.Section 4 Rule 030402 of the document defines serious acts of misconduct as “specific act of very wrongdoing and improper behaviour which is inimical to the image of the service and which can be investigated and if proven, may lead to dismissal.
Referring to Mr Kawu, the charge sheet said he made the recommendation to the minister “when you knew that the same company was not entitled to receive such grant and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 26 and punishable under Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.”
While Mr Alison is accused of certificate forgery, Mr Igboanugo who currently works at the Federal Ministry of Education, is being charged for alleged “gratification and conferring corrupt advantage.” They are Mohammed Musa Abimiku and Alexander Micah Paman both of who are standing trial for alleged “misappropriation of 5 million Naira, making false statements and conferring corrupt advantage” since 2014 and Anthony Udoma for “fraudulent acquisition of property,” since 2012.
The Commission did not list the offence committed by Abel Friday Monday, an official of the Federal Ministry of Interior, it, however, said Martha Alexander of the Federal Ministry of Environment is standing trial for alleged stealing since 2015. Top on the list is Sa’ad Alanamu, a member of the Board of National Population Commission who was convicted alongside two others by a Kwara State High Court, Ilorin for “using office to confer corrupt advantage on self and receiving gratification of N5 million from a contractor contrary to Sections 8, 10 & 19 of the ICPC Act.”
While Mr Edegbe was the Director of Lands at AMAC, Mr Pillah is currently a deputy director with the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation.
