The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has secured the conviction of Christopher Oluchukwu, a Commandant with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, for his involvement in employment scam.

In the case filed by ICPC at the Katsina State High Court 3, the convict was accused of receiving the sum of N200,000:00, N300,000:00 and N400,000:00 respectively from three individuals under the pretext of securing jobs for their children with the NSCDC.

The victims had reported the matter to ICPC after the convict failed to procure the said job and refused to refund their money.

During the course of the trial, counsel to ICPC, Ibrahim Garba had in a 9-counts charge told the court how the action of the convict negates Sections 8,10 and 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000.
