The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has vowed to unravel alleged missing of 13,350 diapers meant for antenatal care at a Primary Health Centre in Sambawa community, Kebbi.
The commission said it would investigate the criminal conduct and bring the culprits to book.
The Chairman of ICPC, Dr Musa Adamu, said this at a one-day conference titled “Engendering Corruption-Free Primary Health Care Delivery For All”, organised by the ICPC in Abuja, on Thursday.
Speaking, Adamu said; ”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 though two staff members of the Sambawa Primary Healthcare Centre, a male and a female, were indicted for the missing items, the commission intended to unravel the criminal conduct and bring the culprits to book.
