Counsel to ICPC, Barr. Bako Alongs, said the defendant, with the Nasarawa State Command of the Service, collected the sum of N800,000 from a couple for two vacancy slots at the Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge and was admitted to bail.
According to reports, he was ordered to be remanded at the Nigeria Correctional Service, Makurdi, Benue State until he meets the bail conditions. The case was adjourned to 20th June 2023 for trial.
