ICPC spokesperson, Azuka Ogugua, said in a charge No: KWS\/53C\/2022 brought before Hon.

The ICPC, therefore, in a 2-count charge preferred against the accused person, informed the court of how the public servant used his position to confer corrupt advantage upon himself as the beneficial owner of Global-Wise ICT Solutions & Technology Limited, in which account the contract sum of N9,950,800.00 was paid.<\/p>\n
The said contract sum was meant for the provision of basic and extended portal services.<\/p>\n
The anti-graft agency said his actions are contrary to, and punishable under sections 12 and 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.<\/p>\n
When the charges were read to the defendant, he entered a \u201cnot guilty\u201d plea.<\/p>\n
His counsel, Salman Jawando, then prayed the court to grant his client bail which was not opposed by the prosecution counsel.<\/p>\n
The trial Judge, therefore, admitted the accused person to bail in the sum of N2,000,000.00 and two sureties in the like sum.<\/p>\n
The surety must be a blood relation and a responsible resident within the jurisdiction of the court, with evidence of ownership of landed property and Affidavit of means.<\/p>\n
