Operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) have arrested a former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Bashir Jamoh, over allegations of abuse of office.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Jamoh, who led NIMASA between 2020 and 2023, was said to be in ICPC custody as of Tuesday night.

Sources familiar with the investigation disclosed that his arrest followed his alleged failure to honour several invitations from the commission after petitions were filed against him.

One of the petitions reportedly accused the former NIMASA boss of granting himself undue advantage through fraudulent procurement processes during his tenure.

According to a source, “He was picked up after ignoring multiple invitations. The investigation centres on alleged abuse of office while he was in charge of NIMASA.”

The spokesperson of the ICPC, John Odey, confirmed Jamoh’s arrest but declined to give details, saying further information would be provided later.

NIMASA is responsible for regulating and promoting maritime activities in Nigeria, including maritime safety, security, environmental protection and enforcement of maritime laws.

In 2021, Jamoh had written to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), requesting a probe into allegations that he diverted N1.5 trillion and $9.5 million while in office. He asked for a thorough investigation to clear his name.

However, no public conclusion was announced from the EFCC investigation.
