An Assistant Director in the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), Yildiyel Musa Takat has been arraigned by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), over allegations of fraud, employment scam and conspiracy.<\/p>\n

Also arraigned by the ICPC for the same offence is Administration Officer at the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Nankpat Dukbong.<\/p>\n

The duo were brought before Honourable Justice O. A. Musa of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court 7, sitting in Jabi, Abuja.<\/p>\n

The accused persons pleaded not guilty to all the charges when they were read to them.<\/p>\n

In a six-count charge, ICPC<\/a> accused the defendants of conspiracy, abuse of office and defrauding unsuspecting job seekers to the tune of Two Million, Nine Hundred Thousand Naira (N2,900,000).<\/p>\n

Counsel to the Commission told the Court of how the accused persons solicited and collected on separate occasions the sums N500,000); and N2,400,000 from their victims in the guise of securing employment for them in the Federal Civil Service.<\/p>\n

While the first defendant (Takat) was charged on counts 1, 2, 4, and 5, the second defendant (Dukbong) was charged on count 1, 3, 4, and 6 respectively.<\/p>\n

In two separate \u201cMotions on Notice\u201d both counsel to the first and second defendants moved for bail application on behalf of their clients.<\/p>\n

Counsel to ICPC in a counter motion, opposed the prayers sought by counsel to first defendant, saying that he had been evading trial, describing him as a serial offender who had multiple court cases against him.<\/p>\n

He therefore urged the court to deny him the prayers sought by his lawyer, while the bail application of the second defendant was not opposed.<\/p>\n

The trial judge admitted the first accused person to bail in the sum of N4,000,000 and a surety in like sum, who must be a civil servant on grade level 08 and above.<\/p>\n

The surety was also ordered to surrender his letter of first appointment and last promotion as well as identity card.<\/p>\n

Also, the second accused person was also granted bail in the sum N2,000,000 and a surety in like sum.<\/p>\n

The matter was adjourned to the 19th of October 2023 for hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
