NAPTIP Sacks Six Officers over Corruption, Unprofessional Conducts

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has approved the dismissal of six officers of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) over alleged acts inimical to the operations of the agency.
A statement from the Press and Public Relations Unit of the agency, which announced their dismissal, said the Minister, however, approved the compulsory retirement of one officer, just as two others were sanctioned.
The statement said their sack followed the recommendation of the agency’s management who had found them culpable for various offences.
In a letter issued to the affected officers, the agency outlined the offences committed by them to include arranging professional sureties for suspects for a fee; providing information about the operations of the agency to outsiders for a fee thereby, endangering the lives of officers of the agency, collection of bribe and aiding the escape of suspects.
