Six members of staff of the Federal Capital Territory Administration are currently being interrogated by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for alleged fraud and land racketeering.
The workers, attached to the Abuja Geographic Information Systems and the Land Administration department, have already been suspended by the FCT minister, Senator Bala Mohammed, who was reportedly saddened by their nefarious act.
The affected staff members are Oluwadamilola Adetiloye( Planning Officer I); Wasiu Olajide (Programme Officer I); Mohammed Saba ( Land Officer I) and Danladi Daniel (Clerical Officer).
Others include two staff in Land Administration Department, Yusuf Baba (Land Officer I) and Blessing Nwiyi (Assistant Executive Officer).
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the FCT minister, Mohammed Sule, in Abuja on Wednesday quoted the minister as warning that the FCT Administration would not spare any staff involved in acts of fraud.
It said the suspension of the personnel was a clear warning to any staff that engage in illegal and criminal acts, warning that the FCTA would not condone acts of fraud.
“The minister emphasised that there is no sacred cow as this suspension is meant to serve as a deterrent to others who may nurse the idea of indulging in fraudulent activities and the law must take its course,” the statement added.
