A senior staff of the National Veterinary Research Institute (NVIR), Vom, Plateau State, Muhammad Nasiru, has been ordered by a State high Court sitting in Jos to refund the salaries he received for 11 years as head of administration on appointment.
He was also sentenced to six months
imprisonment for False declaration of document
and failure to give accurate documents in
seeking employment with NVIR.
The independent corrupt practices and other
related offences commission (ICPC) had
arraigned him before the court on a two-count charge.
ICPC held that Nasiru was not qualified for
the employment base on the fact that he was
compulsorily retired from service by the
National Judicial Institute (NJI), Abuja, in
2003.
Justice Christy Dabup, however, gave him an
option of N150,000 fine in lieu of the jail
term.
