Abia State Governor promises to prosecute state officials responsible for pension fraud

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has vowed to prosecute State officials engaged in the embezzlement of pension funds.

He made this statement at the November edition of the monthly chat with the media. It was through the investigations that they found out that some civil servants were suspects in the crime.

The governor promised to investigate and find out the culprits responsible for the pension fraud in the state.

He said, “I am sure you would have heard some reports about some civil servants who were involved in pension fraud.

“We have zero tolerance for corruption, once we got convincing information we had to arrest the people involved.

 “Coincidentally, the opposition went on air to castigate the government.

“My question is somebody stole and I arrested him and you went to press to say that I shouldn’t arrest a thief, that means you are a thief yourself.”

He added that the State government would begin the arraignment of the suspects before the court of law.
