IMO PENSION FRAUD: Gov Uzodinma Reveals Names Of 8 Persons Fraudulently Earning N330m As Pension
Jul 6, 2020
Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo has followed through with his threat of exposing names of individuals milking the state dry through what appears to be the gravest fraud yet in the history of the state.
According to Uzodinma, the persons are fraudulently receiving N330million annually as pension.
The indicted individuals, he said, are: Ajokubi H. A (N65, 685, 491. 00); Njoku Damian (N5,042,439.58); Obasi Canice (N3,460, 366.64); Anyanwu F. N (N3,150, 336. 00); Emenalo Theresa (N 3,058, 592.00); John Sunday (N2,320624. 00) and Ajaegbo E. O (N2,298,910.34).
He further disclosed that a retired judge was earning N300,000 monthly above what was due to him as pension and a late Secretary to the State Government(SSG) was still earning pension many years after his death.
The Governor made the announcement at a meeting with the leadership of organised labour comprising the Nigerian labour Congress (NLC), the National Union of Pensioners (NUP) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) at Government House.
Uzodinma revealed that so much irregularities had marred the pension system, forcing him to investigate further into the payroll of retired workers where it was discovered that over 1000 pensioners who retired in 1976 were still receiving pension.
He noted that over inflated pensions were paid to numerous pensioners, which on investigation was not consistent with their last pay slips or basic salaries as stipulated by the Pensions Act.
