Civil servant convicted for fake employment, to refund 11 years salary
Muhammad Nasir Ambursa, a former senior staff member of the National Veterinary Research Institute (NVRI) from the Plateau state, was found guilty by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of crimes that involved forgery and making false statements.

Ambursa had retired from the National Judicial Institute (NJI), Abuja, according to the prosecution's attorney, who then obtained a new position as a contract employee with the Kebbi State Judicial Service Commission.

He applied for and was hired at the NVRI, nonetheless, based on a fraudulent claim in his resume that he had linked his service at the NJI, Abuja, and the Kebbi State Judicial Service Commission.

ICPC in a statement said Ambursa did that with a view to meet a requirement that stated that “a prospective employee must be willing to transfer his service” to NVRI to gain employment in the Research Institute.

“The act is contrary to Section 25 and punishable under Section 25(1)(b) of Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and Section 138 of the Penal Code,” ICPC said.

The trial judge sentenced Ambursa to six months imprisonment with an option of N100,000.00 fine on count one; and one month imprisonment with option of N50,000.00 fine on count two.

The court also ordered him to refund all emoluments he received for 11 years while he was in the service of NVRI, Plateau State.
