The former Director-General is currently being quizzed by the Commission for his alleged role in fraudulent awards of specialized entrepreneurship contracts to his cronies who were neither professionals nor qualified to execute the projects and for allegedly demanding and receiving kickbacks from contractors. He is also accused of using his position for personal advantage.

ICPC, acting on a petition it received against the former SMEDAN DG, arrested him for questioning but has released him on administrative bail.

Signed: Mrs. Rasheedat A. Okoduwa, mni
Spokesperson for the Commission
