The Acting Provost of the College of Education, Gusau, Zamfara State Dr. Shallah Ahmed has been sent to five years imprisonment by the Zamfara State High Court sitting in Gusau for embezzlement.
Mr. Folu Olamiti of the ICPC said the anti-graft commission arraigned Dr. Shallah Ahmed for collecting the sum of N385,000 from both his institution as well as from JAMB as tour allowance to attend a board meeting of JAMB .
The anti-graft commission said such an abuse was punishable under Section 19 of the ICPC Act, 2000. The section states that, “Any public officer who uses his office or position to gratify or confer any corrupt or unfair advantage upon himself or associate of the public officer or any public officer shall be guilty of an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment of five years without option of fine.”
The ICPC, Olamiti stated, gave the warning because it learnt that many public servants collects double DTA from their agencies and also received or demand same in cash or facilities from the agencies being visited.
And he goes to prison while better thief are buying private jets. What a lesson for all learn "STEAL BIG AND BUY JUSTICE"
