The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission said it has uncovered the diversion of N250m from the accounts of the Usman Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, into
private pockets.
The ICPC spokesperson, Mrs Rasheedat Okoduwa, said in a statement on Tuesday, that an UDUTH accountant had been taken into custody in connection with the fraud. The statement said, “Checks by the commission on how a critical national infrastructure such as the IPPIS could be compromised indicated likely negligence on the part of the management of the teaching hospital and other loopholes.
Further checks by ICPC also revealed that the suspect took advantage of the window of opportunity on the IPPIS platform that allowed Ministries, Department and Agencies to edit salaries that had been processed by the Office of the Accountant -General of the Federation before they are finalised or paid, to substitute the genuine destination account numbers with those of his co-conspirators before payment.
