How ICPC uncovered $300,000 students’ funds in suspicious account

The chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, has revealed how the commission in partnership with the Bureau of Public Procurement, successfully intercepted and blocked $300,000 that was set aside for a students’ Information and Communication Technology program, which was being funnelled through suspicious accounts.

Aliyu emphasized the importance of cooperation between sister agencies to prevent corrupt officials from carrying out illicit activities.

He explained, “It was BPP that gave us an idea because something strange was happening concerning ICT for students. It was then that we had to look properly and make recoveries, blocking $300,000 in one of the accounts, as well as recovering an expensive vehicle.”
