The suspended officer, according to statement by the Public Relation officer of corrections, Mr. A. C Njoku, was arraigned by the EFCC on a six-count charge of conspiracy and obtaining by false pretence.
It stated that, “The Service on the approval of Civil Defence, Corrections, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) had on the 26th October, 2020 suspended the above-mentioned officer based on the charge of grouse misconduct reported against him.
“The Controller General of Corrections Ja’afaru Ahmed, said the Service will not take lightly any case of misconduct against any personnel of the service.
