JAMB uncovers another N83m fraud in five states
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board is currently investigating fresh cases of fraud totalling N83m uncovered in its state offices in Kano, Edo, Kogi, Gombe and Plateau, Saturday PUNCH has learnt.
Our correspondent gathered on Friday that while the board was investigating N31m misappropriated revenue in Edo and N20m in Kano, it was quizzing officials in Plateau and Gombe over N15m and N10m mismanaged in the states respectively.
Also, it was learnt that the examination board was investigating the misappropriation of N7m in its office in Kogi State.
The JAMB Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, who confirmed the figures on Friday, said the board would be diligent in its investigations and would not tolerate corrupt practices from any of its officials.
“We will monitor with careful scrutiny how workers handled public funds. We are trying to block all leakages and loopholes,” he said.
A reliable source told our correspondent that all the workers of the board found to have been involved in corrupt activities being investigated had been suspended while investigations were ongoing.
He said, “What happened was that we had a panel session in Abuja and most of the state coordinators could not account for how some monies were spent or remitted. The coordinator of Kano State could not account for N20m, while the Edo (office) could not account for N31m. In Plateau State, we are looking at N15m.
“For Kogi State, we have about N7m that is a source of contention while Gombe office has N10m that is also a source of contention. You can then sum it up and know how much corruption ate deep into some officials.
“The registrar is frank and thorough about the investigations and he has warned to transfer some of the cases to the police and to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.”
A case of N36m allegedly misappropriated by a clerk at the JAMB office in Makurdi, Benue State, Philomena Chieshe, was recently reported by the media.
It was reported that Chieshe had claimed in her statement that a mystery snake sneaked into the accounts office and swallowed the cash.
Also, another JAMB worker in Nasarawa State, Labaran Tanko, was reported on Wednesday to be undergoing investigation over a suspected fraud involving N26m.
Tanko had claimed that the N26m, which was the worth of unsold Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination scratch cards, got burnt in his car during an accident while he was on his way to remit the cards at the JAMB office in Abuja.
Both Chieshe and Tanko are still under investigation.

How Ibori nearly ruled Nigeria
The story of how James Ibori went from convicted thief in London in the 1990s, to become governor of a wealthy oil-producing Nigerian state and then to a British prison is a remarkable one. It is the story of a wily political operator, backing the right political horses and shifting allegiances when expedient. Given slightly different circumstances, according to one observer, it could have seen Ibori in the presidential villa rather than a British jail cell. Ibori’s defence in the face of allegations had always been that he had a successful business career and had made money independent of government. But in 1991, he was working in a hardware store in the London suburb of Neasden. The prosecution in this trial told a judge he was earning around £15,000 ($24,000) a year. He was caught by his employer allowing his wife to walk through the till he was manning without paying for goods.
Politicians flock to London for Ibori
ASABA
– POLITICIANS mainly from Delta State and other parts of the country are
flocking to London to rejoice with Chief James Ibori after his release from
prison in the United Kingdom. The decision by many of his stalwarts to meet him
in London follows news that the former Delta helmsman would not be returning to
the country soon given his plans to appeal his conviction. Friends, family and
political associates it was learnt, have made the trip and many others are
planning to meet with him in his London residence. Among the early callers was
Senator Peter Nwaoboshi who served in different capacities under Ibori. “The
senator representing Delta North senatorial district, Chief Peter Nwaoboshi,
and a host of others, who have the means, are already in London to meet with
Ibori. Many are on their way; they are coming from different parts of the
world,” an associate of the former governor told Vanguard. Those who have not
travelled are also speaking to him on telephone. One of his close associates,
Chief Ayiri Emami, confirmed to Vanguard that he spoke to the former governor
after his release,
