The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other
Related Offences Commission (ICPC)
interrogated Mike Okiro, former inspector-
general of police and chairman, police service
commission (PSC) on Thursday, over alleged
N275.5 million fraud.
ICPC also interrogated George Todonu, Okiro’s
Orderly; A.A Bisala, chief accountant of PSC;
E.C Ibe; B. Bello and Raymond Imiobi, all staff
of the commission.
They all reported at the ICPC headquarters in
Abuja.
Okiro arrived at the commission at about 9:51
am in a Black Toyota Land Cruiser four wheels
drive with registration number T98 01FG (PSC).
A source at the ICPC headquarters, who
preferred anonymity, said the invitation of Okiro
and other staff of PSC followed a petition
published in one of the national dailies.
He said the petition titled ‘Attempt to Swindle
the Police Service Commission to the tune of
N275.5 million’, was written by Aaron Kaase, a
principal administrative officer at PSC.
The petitioner accused Okiro of diverting N350
million sought from the office of the national
security adviser for staff training ahead of the
2015 general election to his personal use.
He said claims by Okiro that the training
programmes were held in three separate lots
for Abuja, Kano and Lagos staff of the
commission were frivolous, adding that such
trainings were never organised.
Kaase also faulted Okiro’s claims on the
ground that the staff strength of the
commission was less than 400 as against 900
said to have benefited from the training.
He also accused Okiro of making claims for
journeys that were never embarked upon.
