The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has concluded plans to arraign three officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) over N1.2 billion unspent fund, itts Resident Media Consultant, Mr. Folu Olamiti, has revealed.

The senior officials arraigned before Justice Husseini Baba of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court are a former Assistant Commandant General of NSCDC, Mohammed Umar, and two others – Amobi Chidozie and Ojuolape Oyemomi – would be arraigned before the court.

“The accused were alleged to have conspired and used their public offices to offer gratification to some public officers of the office of the AGF in the sum of N1.5 million as an inducement," Olamiti said.

According to him, the gratification was to induce the public officers to extend the time of remittance of the N1.2 billion unspent funds belonging to NSCDC in December 2004.

He attributed the delay in the arraignment to the health challenge of Umar and the death of one of the accused persons, whose name was struck out from the charge sheet.

“The trio will also be facing trial for the transfer of the sum of N8.2 million meant for overhead vote to personnel vote, an offence contrary and punishable under Section 22 (5) of the corrupt practices and other related offences Act 2000,” he said.
