We has
learnt that about N4,000,000 (Four Million Naira) alleged to have been
fraudulently cornered by a former Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Prof Akin Asibugu has been recovered.
A
petition was written by an insider to the Independent Corrupt Practices and
Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) alleging that Prof Asibugu had
approved and paid himself the sum of N4,016,562.45 as allowance for accrued
leave.
The
Commission posted on its website on June 15, 2015 that it has finally recovered
the money from the former CMD and paid it back into the purse of LUTH.
“In
the course of investigations, the Heads of the Federal Civil Service Commission
and the National Income, Salaries and Wages Commission responded to inquiries
by ICPC operatives and faulted this conduct, averring that the payments
contravened provisions of the Public Service Rules and Financial Regulations,”
ICPC wrote on its platform.
“By
this conduct, the former CMD allegedly committed administrative malfeasance and
abused his position as a public officer. He was therefore asked to refund the
money into the Recovery Account of ICPC.
“He
complied promptly, and the Commission has since returned the money to the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba,” the Commission disclosed.
