Mr. Taiwo Stephen Ayodeji is currently under investigation by ICPC for alleged forgery of his employment letter to the Federal Ministry of Power. He had been earning a salary for the past 11 months before he was caught.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has taken legal action against Ayodeji for his fraudulent act.
The agency also emphasized the use of technology to fight corruption, as this provides real-time data and monitoring technologies to combat such fraudulent activities.
This was announced on ICPC’s official handle on X. The caption on the post reads, “A retired director in the Office of the Federal Civil Service Commission, Mrs. Mayen Gajere, has testified for ICPC in the ongoing forgery trial of one Mr. Taiwo Stephen Ayodeji.
“ICPC accused Mr. Ayodeji of forging an employment letter of Federal Ministry Power. He was also said to have obtained, by false pretense, 11 months of salaries, amounting to N760,705.44, while being under the employment of the same ministry with the purported fake employment letter.
“In recent years, the fight against corruption has expanded to incorporate technologies that provide real-time, online prevention and monitoring. This edition of Transparency Files takes a look at the application of technology to effectively combat corruption.”
Musa Aliyu, ICPC’s Chairman, has ensured more of these fraudulent acts will be uncovered as the agency has identified several ministries and agencies involved in job racketeering. He made this commitment during a seminar marking the 2024 International Anti-Corruption Day.
