The Bauchi State Government has sacked one of its workers, a Secretarial Assistant with the state Hospitals Management Board, for fraud.
The fraud committed by the dismissed officer, Sani Tirwun, included falsification of records, issuance of fake appointment letters, illegal posting of staff, faking of the board’s staff officer’s signature, and alteration of posting letter.
Additionally, he was alleged to have collected over N1m in order to issue fake appointment letters. He also allegedly collected N250,000, N200,000, and N150,000 respectively to insert the defrauded persons among the approved posting.
These were disclosed by the Information Officer, Bauchi State Civil Service Commission, Saleh Umar, and made available to journalists on Saturday.
The statement titled, ‘CSC Bauchi dismisses Sani Mohammed Tireun, Secretarial Assistant II, upgrades 32 officers,’ was dated October 7th, 2023.
Umar said the dismissed officer was found guilty of the offences he was accused of committing which contradicted Chapter (4) Section 4 Rule 108, item xvii, xiv, xv of Bauchi State Public Service Regulation 2017 (reviewed version), during the commission’s 22nd plenary session held on October 5th, 2023.
He added, “The commission considered the dismissal during its 22nd plenary session held at the conference hall of the commission on 5th October 2023.
“Sani Mohammed was found guilty by the Disciplinary Committee of the Hospitals Management Board for falsification of record, issuance of fake appointment letters, illegal posting of illegal staff, faking of the board’s staff officer’s signature, and alteration of posting letter.”
The Sunday PUNCH has reported that the Bauchi State Civil Service Commission, on August 15th, 2023, dismissed two workers of the Ministry of Finance for financial misappropriation and forgery.
Those sacked were Chief Clerical Officer and Assistant Chief Clerical Officer of the Ministry, Nasiru Sama’ila and Auwal Jibrin, respectively, who allegedly forged the documents of deceased former staff of the Ministry which enabled them to divert the sum of N330,000 belonging to him (deceased) who is their former colleague.
This also came barely two weeks after the Commission sacked one Ibrahim Garba attached to the State Pension Board for a similar offense.
