Included in the service wide disparity between the payroll and the nominal roll were the specific discoveries made from some MDAs used as a pilot scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the fraud was allegedly more entrenched in the Nigeria Police Force with thousands of ex-employees on the payroll.<\/p>\n<p>The report added: \u201cThe analysis of NPF payroll focused on December 2023 nominal and payroll obtained from IPPIS for the purpose of comparison. The nominal and payroll have populated names of 350,028 and 312,047 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was discovered on the nominal roll that 37, 160 staff were described as \u201cex-employees. However, on the same nominal roll spreadsheet, 37,129 were described as \u201cinactive\u201d whilst the balance of 31 staff were also categorized as having \u201cActive\u201d status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, 4,190 staff of NPF, described as \u201cex-employees\u201d were found on the payroll of IPPIS to have received December 2023 salary amounting to N980,273,690.51.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was discovered that 3, 228 of the 4, 190 have their records consistent in all parameters used for validation on the payroll such as the names, IPPIS numbers and account numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConversely, the account numbers of the remainder 962 staff were compared with that on the payroll and the findings revealed that the names of staff and bank names were inconsistent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was also discovered that none of the IPPIS numbers of the aforementioned number of staff on the payroll was found on the nominal roll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurther analysis revealed that the names, IPPIS numbers and account numbers of 20 staff , who were not on the nominal roll, were found on the payroll given by IPPIS amounting to payment of N5,585, 256.13.<\/p>\n<p>It was also discovered that 40 different staff on the 2023 payroll had different IPPIS numbers that had one account linked to the different names. Of the 40 staff, 21 received double salary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, an account number linked to two officers revealed that the account is in the name of a company, Don Aks Ikoro Global. Some names do not match the account name on the nominal and payroll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ICPC said 40 staff members with different IPPIS numbers receive double salaries.
