The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned Mr. Abubakar Mohammed Aseku, an Assistant Superintendent of Immigration with the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), for allegedly receiving salaries from two other government agencies while still employed by the NIS.
Mr. Aseku appeared on Tuesday before Justice Binta Dogonyaro of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Apo, Abuja, facing a nine-count charge of abuse of office and corruption.
According to the ICPC, Aseku allegedly received N4.2 million in salaries from the Nasarawa State Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology in 2015 while working as a school teacher, despite being on active duty with the NIS.
He is also accused of collecting N13.4 million in salaries from the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) between 2018 and 2019 while still employed by the Immigration Service.
Furthermore, as a Pay Officer with the NIS, Aseku allegedly facilitated the payment of N4.7 million in salaries to seven individuals who were neither employed by the NIS nor listed on its payroll.
