| Gov. Rochas Okorocha |
No fewer than two permanent secretaries and about six substantive directors (names withheld), serving in the Imo State Civil Service, have been summarily suspended by Governor Rochas Okorocha, for alleged fraudulent acts.
Government’s action, which was aired severally on the airwaves of the Imo Broadcasting Corporation, IBC, Owerri, also ordered the affected officials to immediately hand over to the most senior staff in their respective establishments.
Governor Okorocha equally warned heads of accounts and directors.
Vanguard gathered that one of the affected officials, who allegedly defrauded the state government to the tune of N45 million, may be handed over to the anti-graft agency for interrogation and possible prosecution.
It was also gathered that apart from being forced to proceed on indefinite suspension without salary and pension, government appeared bent on getting them to refund every kobo they allegedly misappropriated.
Similarly, sources disclosed that Okorocha had ordered that the dossiers of all those who either falsified their dates of birth or
length of service, should be forwarded to him for “proper disciplinary action.”
