He also revealed that the commission had arrested individuals involved in fraudulently inserting names of cronies into the federal government\u2019s payroll.<\/p>\n<p>Aliyu explained that while pension deductions for legitimate workers are remitted to Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs), the same does not apply to ghost workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny deduction made on ghost workers cannot go to any Pension Fund Administrator. It will remain unclaimed, which is how we were able to track and recover N20 billion,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He further revealed shocking discoveries, including a case where an individual added his wife, son, and in-law to the federal payroll, with the son being just 15 years old. \u201cWe arrested him,\u201d Aliyu said.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond pension fraud, the ICPC chairman also noted that the commission successfully blocked the diversion of approximately N50 billion by public officers in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Aliyu emphasized the need for legal reforms to make corruption less attractive. He suggested that corrupt individuals should be required to return stolen funds with interest and be barred from holding public office for up to a decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to ensure that anyone found guilty of corruption does not benefit from it. In some jurisdictions, penalties include full repayment of stolen funds and interest,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He also called on Nigerians to stop glorifying corrupt individuals, saying societal acceptance of corruption has contributed to the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Aliyu reiterated ICPC\u2019s commitment to fighting corruption, stating that the agency had implemented strategies to enhance enforcement and transparency. He urged the media to support the commission\u2019s mandate by exposing corrupt practices and promoting accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are doing our best to achieve our goal. We will not withhold information or compromise our enforcement duties,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n<p>With a strengthened partnership with the media, Aliyu pledged to transform ICPC into one of the leading anti-graft agencies in Nigeria, ensuring a more transparent and accountable system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ICPC recovered over N20 billion in pension
