This was disclosed by Mr. Francis Enobore, the Public Relation Officer of NCoS in statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
Recall that the Controller General, NCos, Mr. Ja’afaru Ahmed had ordered a comprehensive investigation into an alleged internet fraud of $1 million orchestrated by a convicted inmate in Kirikiri, Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Lagos, Hope Aroke.
The statement noted that the suspension was based on the preliminary report of the investigation panel earlier constituted by the CG which indicted the officers of complexity in the scandal.
The CG while setting up the panel had assured members of the public that any personnel found to have been involved in the scandal would face the consequences as prescribed by the law.
Enobore said the CG who handed down the suspension order, noted that the task of correcting maladjusted persons in the society requires a measure of moral rectitude to make positive impact on offenders in custody.
