The police in Katsina State on Tuesday confirmed the arrest of four
officials of the state's Board of Internal Revenues for allegedly
defrauding the state government of an unspecified amount of money.
The
police command's acting Police Public Relation Officers, Lawal Joka, said that investigation into the case
was continuing.
``As soon as the police conclude their investigation, the suspects will be charged to court,'' he said.
It was gathered that the suspects, including three revenue officers and a
Vehicle Inspection Officer, allegedly connived in an illegal sale of
vehicle licences and other particulars.
The officials were
alleged to have been issuing fake vehicle licences and particulars to
unsuspecting vehicle owners, thereby making the board to lose huge sums
of money.
Their arrest, it was also learnt, followed the board's
investigation during which they were allegedly found involved in the
scam.
The report of the board’s committee that investigated the
matter was sent to the state's Commissioner for Finance, who eventually
ordered their arrest.
However, gathered that the suspects had been released on bail.
