However, investigators were startled when they discovered that more than N1.3bn was siphoned from the coffers of SON by the affected directors and their collaborators in bogus payments A detective at the commission said, “We have arrested two directors for their alleged role in a N1.3bn fraud scandal rocking the agency. One of the directors is currently in the custody of the anti-graft agency while the other, as assistant director, was arrested a few weeks ago and released on administrative bail after making statement before a team of detectives. “We arrested them as part of investigation into a petition alleging gross financial mismanagement and embezzlement of public funds to the tune of N200m in SON. But in the course of the investigation, we found that more than N1.3bn was siphoned from the coffers of SON by the affected directors and their collaborators in bogus payments. “What we are doing now is profiling the accounts of the affected staff to determine their level of involvement. We are determined to bring all those directly involved n the fraud to book.”]]>
