An Ikeja Special Offenses Court has sentenced a supervisor at the Hajj and Cargo terminal of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, to one year in prison for making false returns and corrupt self-advantage.
The case was brought by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
In the case presented before Justice O.A. Fadipe of the Ikeja Special Offenses Court, ICPC revealed how the accused collected missing monies during the course of his work but failed to account for them.
In a two-count charge, ICPC counsel, Yvonne Williams-Mbata, presented evidence that uncovered a total loss of ₦11,234,000 under the defendant’s supervision and watch between February 2001 and April 2021.
