After receiving the petition, the ICPC swung into action to investigate the matter.

The Commission posted on its website on June 15, 2015 that it has finally recovered the money from the former CMD and paid it back into the purse of LUTH.

“In the course of investigations, the Heads of the Federal Civil Service Commission and the National Income, Salaries and Wages Commission responded to inquiries by ICPC operatives and faulted this conduct, averring that the payments contravened provisions of the Public Service Rules and Financial Regulations,” ICPC wrote on its platform.

“By this conduct, the former CMD allegedly committed administrative malfeasance and abused his position as a public officer. He was therefore asked to refund the money into the Recovery Account of ICPC.

“He complied promptly, and the Commission has since returned the money to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba,” the Commission disclosed.
