The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has burst an employment racketeering syndicate and arrested the prime suspect and four of his applicants.
The agency in statement posted on its website said the sting operation was part of an ongoing crackdown on employment syndicates by the commission in collaboration with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) and an intelligence arising therefrom regarding a replacement exercise in a federal government agency.

The syndicate’s mode of operation is hoodwinking their victims into believing that they have a strong connection with the OHCSF and can use such influence to secure employment for them.
Meanwhile efforts are in place by the commission to find other suspects related to the case.
