Ibrahim Ali, a senior staff member with the National Examinations Council, NECO, has been sacked for reporting a series of corrupt practices going on within the body, SaharaReporters has learnt.
It was gathered that Ali, an Assistant Director, along with three other people, was initially transferred by the Chairman of the Governing Board of NECO from its Minna office in Niger State without following the due process of the law.
It was gathered that Ali, an Assistant Director, along with three other people, was initially transferred by the Chairman of the Governing Board of NECO from its Minna office in Niger State without following the due process of the law. “They challenged this malicious decision of the Governing Board of the council by way of a petition to the Prof. Is-haq Oloyede Committee investigating issues relating to the NECO. Despite this, their salaries were withheld, and subsequently, their appointments were wrongfully terminated by the council,” a source privy to the matter told SaharaReporters on Monday.
He continued: “When they sought to challenge this gross abuse of public service rules by approaching the National Industrial Court and petitioning the ministerial committee set up to look into the affairs of the organisation, the corrupt people profiting from milking the agency decided to threaten the life of Alhaji Ibrahim Ali, who quickly reported the matter to the law enforcement authorities and approached the courts for justice.” Â
In an unexpected turn of events, the complainant, Ali was arrested and detained as a suspect by the AIG (Assistant Inspector General) of Zone 7, Area 3, AIG Headquarters, Abuja.Â
Ali was later charged to court while the main suspect has been walking freely.Â
His case comes up again today, Tuesday before Justice Suleiman Ola of Deidei Grade I Area Court, Abuja, SaharaReporters also learnt.Â
