The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) claims former Interior Minister, Abba Moro and three others deliberately designed the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) recruitment exercise solely for the purpose of defrauding job-seeking Nigerians
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission claims former Interior Minister, Abba Moro and three others deliberately designed the botched March 15, 2014 Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment exercise solely for the purpose of defrauding job seeking Nigerians.
They argued that the prosecution failed, through the evidence led by its 12 witnesses, to establish a prima facie case against them. “Evidence before the court is that the procurement process was activated by the defendants with utter disregard for the provisions of BPP Act 2007, Immigration and Prison Board Act 2004 and Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission Act 2005 in a scheme designed to fraudulently obtain money from innocent applicants.
“The 3rd defendant also signed the letter of award of the contract to Drexel. The due process report of the BPP admitted as Exhibit AAFD19 is very clear that it is the responsibility to 2nd defendant to supervise the conduct of all procurement process and to set up such committee. “It is our submission that it was fraudulent for the 3rd defendant, as a Procurement Officer with the Ministry, to recommend the award of consultancy contract to an unregistered company.
“We humbly submit that the prosecution has made out a prima facie case requiring the defendants to make some explanations to this honourable court.
