Three civil servants and a businessman were found guilty by the Independent Corrupt Practises and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of defrauding Alhaji Bala Rabiu of N900,000 for phoney immigration jobs that they claimed to have obtained for six of his children.

Jibrin Babagana, a businessman; Mohammed Rabiu Isa, an employee of the State Ministry of Education; Sabo Abdullahi; and Ado Abdul, employees of the State Ministry of Justice, were all found guilty and given two-year prison terms by Justice Nasiru Saminu of the Kano State High Court 13, sitting in Bompai, Kano, Kano State.

One of the charges reads: “That you, Jibrin Babagana (m) Mohammad Rabiu (m), Sabo Abdullahi (m) and Ado Abdu (m) sometime in August 2018 at Kano agreed among yourselves to issue fake letters of employment into the Nigeria Immigration Service to the children of Alhaji Bala Rabiu knowing that such letters were fake thereby committing an offence contrary to Section 97 of the Penal Code Laws of Kano State”.

The defendants pleaded guilty to the charges, while their counsel, Barrister S. G Gani pleaded with the Court to temper justice with mercy as the defendants were first time offenders and family men with children.
