The ICPC has arraigned Munirat Abdulazeez, a dismissed Court of Appeal staff, for allegedly defrauding job seekers of N9.2 million by promising fake government jobs.
- Abdulazeez allegedly promised jobs in CBN, FIRS, and NIMASA between 2022 and 2023.
- ICPC says she collected N9.2 million from eight job seekers under false pretences.
- She was previously sacked from the judiciary over job racketeering and auction fraud.
- Charged under the Advance Fee Fraud Act, she pleaded not guilty.
- The judge granted her bail at N10 million with strict conditions, including property-backed sureties.
This case underscores the dangers of job racketeering in Nigeria’s public sector and the urgent need for institutional reform. That a judiciary staffer allegedly ran such a scam highlights cracks within the system meant to uphold justice.
With the trial set to begin on June 20, the outcome may serve as a warning to others exploiting desperate job seekers. ICPC's actions reflect renewed efforts to combat corruption at all levels.
