Police arrest man who placed brother on FG payroll, collected salary for 11 years
Police in Niger state has arrested a senior civil servant, Mohammed Ndanusa who illegally placed his brother on federal government payroll for 11 years.
According to P.M News, Ndanusa who was working for the Ministry of Health has been collecting his brother’s salary since 2019, until he met his Waterloo on Tuesday, September 1, 2020.
His brother, Tanimu was all along with a motorcyclist in Minna and was not qualified to be on the payroll, but Ndanusa crookedly found a way to add his name and even promoted him ( Tanimu) several times, from Grade Level 10 to Grade level 14.
Ndanusa’s 11-year-fraud was busted when he asked Tanimu to appear for screening and physical verification which the Niger State Government made compulsory for all civil servants in the state.
It was gathered that when Tanimu appeared before the panel, he did not come with any certificate and couldn’t even speak like a senior civil servant on Level 14.
Members of the screening committee were stunned and called the police to arrest him and his brother who invited him for the exercise.
Following the arrest of the two brothers, Ndanusa confessed to that he fraudulently employed Tanimu on grade level 10 in 2009 and subsequently promoted him three times to grade level 14 till date.
The police report said that the suspect, Mohammed Ndanusa, would be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
