An investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed that several top
civil servants and political figures in Delta State are involved in a
fraudulent scheme by the state’s civil service commission. The
fraud entails the sale of civil service jobs to desperate job
seekers for as much as N1.5 million each.
Our investigators discovered the sale of employment slots began
several weeks ago. Initially, slots were being sold for between
N700,000 and N900,000, but skyrocketed to N1.5 million as hordes of job
seekers scrambled for the few, though undisclosed, number
of available jobs.
