EFCC arrests Federal Pay Officer in Uyo
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), stormed into the Federal Pay Office in Uyo, and arrested a Federal Pay Officer, identified as Mr. Shiftanure E. John, for abuse of office and failure to remit N1.8 million to the Board of Internal Revenue Service, (BIRS) in Akwa Ibom state.
It was learnt that preliminary investigation revealed that entries in the agency’s cashbook showed evidence of payments made to the Federal Pay Office, but were not reflected in the banks reconciliation statement because they were not remitted to the appropriate bodies and banks/sub-treasury by the Federal Pay Officer, as stipulated in the financial regulations.
