An FCT High Court sitting in Jabi on Monday sentenced two civil servants, Mohammed Audu and Yusuf Ayodeji, to 105 years imprisonment, for fraudulent activities.The convicts, who were Procurement Officers in the Office of the
Accountant General of the Federation, were arraigned by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in July 2016.
Mr. Audu was docked on a 10-count charge while Ayodeji faced a
five-count charge, both bordering on conspiracy, abuse of office and
awarding contracts to companies in which they had interests, among
others.
The convicts were brought pursuant to Section 26 of the Independent
Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) Act 2000,
punishable under Section 12 of the same Act.
They were in charge of a World Bank project known as Government
Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), an economic
reform governance project.
The judge, Yusuf Halilu, in his judgment, sentenced Mr. Audu to seven
years imprisonment on each of the 10-count charge, amounting to 70
years.
Mr. Halilu also sentenced Mr. Ayodeji to seven years each on each of the five-count charge, amounting to 35 years imprisonment.
According to him, the convicts took advantage of their positions as
procurement officers to perpetrate the criminal acts at the World Bank
project.
