The Bauchi State Civil Service Commission has dismissed one Sani Mohammed Tirwun, a Secretarial Assistant of the state Hospitals Management Board for demanding N1,000,000 and issuing fake appointment letters to job applicants.
WikkiTimes gathered that Mohammed further exports his victims N250,000, N200,000 and N150,000 to manipulate their purported posting.
The Information Officer of the Commission, Saleh Umar disclosed this to reporters in a statement in Bauchi.
He said the commission considered the dismissal during its 22nd plenary session presided over by the Chairman of the Commission, Abubakar Usman where 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.
“These contradict Chapter (4) Section 4 Rule 108, item xvii, xiv, xv of Bauchi State Public Service Regulation 2017 (reviewed version) that dealt with aforementioned offences as serious misconduct and liable to dismissal.
“Besides all these, the Officer was also alleged to have collected over one million Naira (1,000,000) for the purpose of issuance of fake appointment letters as well as collecting the sum of N250,000, N200,000 and N150,000 respectively for inserting the victims among the approved posting,” the statement read in parts. Mohammed in response to a query letter issued to him by the Hospitals Management Board confessed to the crime. Therefore the Officer’s dismissal was approved with effect from 1st October, 2023.
The Commission described the act of the disengaged staff as unbearable and dishonest and called on job Seekers to be extra careful with such people.
In July, the Commission sacked six traditional rulers for partaking in partisan politics in the recently concluded general elections. Also, in August, the Commission also terminated the appointment of Ibrahim Garba, a Chief Secretariat Assitant with the State Pension Board for fraudulently earning N3,017,919 belonging to a deceased staff.
