Suswam is currently on trial on a 32 count charge of diversion of a total sum of N9.79bn meant for Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme SURE-P.
While presiding over the matter, Justice Kolawole granted each of the three defendants bail in the sum of N250m among other conditions but however ordered that they be remanded in prison until they fulfill all their bail conditions.
Justice Kolawole in his ruling, ordered that they be remanded in prison pending when the Deputy Chief Registrar, Litigation, of the Federal High Court, Abuja would inform the court that the bail conditions had been met.
Suswam is alleged to have connived with his former aides to divert the sum of N9,791,602,453.8 which was meant for the SURE-P scheme and a small fraction of it for police reform between 2012 and 2015 while he was in office. The former governor and his aides however pleaded not guilty
Over 80, 000 job

ABUJA – In what might sound as a heartbreaking news to thousands of
unemployed Nigerians who are frantically applying for the
recently-advertised vacancies in the Nigeria Immigration Service NIS,
the federal government has declared that only 1, 112 vacancies currently
exist in the service.
Minister of Interior, Abdulrahaman Dambazau, who stated this on Monday
in Abuja, after presenting a handbook on the operations of the
Presidential Executive Order at the Nigeria Immigration Service
headquarters, said the vacant slots were the only ones approved by the
president.
“There were two aborted Immigration recruitments that were done. The
first one led to fatality and casualties. The second one was dispersed
following discovery of so many abnormalities I which 2, 000 of them were
sent home.
“When we came in November 2015, we looked at the whole thing and we
discovered for the second one that it was not all the fault of the
candidates as such, but it was the process that was followed that was
flawed.
“So, we wrote a memo to Mr President that we should recall those
candidates, 2000 of them, so that we can reassess them and the President
graciously approved that and we advertised in papers and I think about
1,500 or so reported and out of this number 888 qualified for that
recruitment. Now the balance of 1, 112 is what we are working on; that
is the reason of the recent advertisement by the Nigerian Immigration
Service to recruit that balance of 1,112 and this is the process we are
in now”, he said.
He, however, assured of transparency in the recruitment process.
Vanguard checks revealed that no fewer than 80, 000 Nigerians have since
applied for the jobs, with many others still unable to access the
portal due to technica hitches from its back-end.
In the 2014 botched recruitment, over a hundred thousand Nigerians had
applied for less than 4, 000 slots.
On his part, Comptroller General of the service, Muhammed Babandede,
said; “We are going to recruit young officers with priority to those who
speak foreign languages such as French, Chinese, Arabic; with priority
to those who have ICT skills. We are complying with the national level
to train quality and not just number.”
