Eyimoga Moses, a superintendent with the Nigeria correctional service in Lafia, Nasarawa state, has been arraigned in court for job racketeering.
Moses was brought before Abdul Dogo, presiding judge of the federal high court, Makurdi, by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC)
Bako Alongs, the defendant, ICPC counsel said Moses was arraigned on a one-count charge of corruption before Hon. Justice Abdul Adogo, for collecting N800,000 from a couple for two vacancy slots at the Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa state.
Alongs said that the accused knew that the slots were false and therefore committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1) of Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act 2006.
The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charge and was admitted to bail and 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.
