ICPC declares ex-staff wanted for allegedly receiving gratification 

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Tuesday declared one of its former staff wanted for alleged fraudulent practices.

The ICPC said on its Twitter handle that the suspect, Gloria Obioma Elih, allegedly demanded and received gratification from officials of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources who were being investigated by the commission.

The commission said Elih was declared wanted because all efforts to bring her to court had proved abortive.

It said: “The person whose picture appears above, Gloria Obioma Elih, is hereby declared WANTED by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC).
