The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, said it is on a mission to probe alleged missing of 13,350 diapers meant for antenatal care at a Primary Health Centre in Sambawa community, Kebbi.
The commission’s Chairman, Musa Adamu, said this at a conference themed: “Engendering Corruption-Free Primary Health Care Delivery For All.”
Speaking at the event held in Abuja and organised by ICPC, Adamu said those behind the diaper theft would not go unpunished.
“Recently, the Sambawa community in Kebbi State sent a petition to us regarding missing antenatal care items for pregnant women and newborn babies donated to a healthcare facility.
“Our preliminary investigation indicated that the missing diapers allocated to Sambawa Primary Healthcare Centre are 13,350 pieces, while the investigation by Kebbi State Primary Healthcare Agency puts it at 3,466,” he said.
He added that two staff members of the Sambawa Primary Healthcare Centre, a male and a female, were indicted for the missing items, saying that the commission intends to unravel the criminal conduct and bring the culprits to book.
