She was arraigned before Justice Mohammed Sani of the Federal High in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Monday, September 26, by the Ilorin Zonal Command of the Commission.
The suspect, who’s a staff member of the Kwara State Ministry of Finance, was arraigned on four counts bordering on employment scam and Hajj pilgrimage fraud.
