TETFUND contract fraud: ICPC didn’t arrest me — Contractor

From Okwe Obi, Abuja

A Contractor and Founder of Fides et Ratio, Paul Chukwuma, has debunked report of his arrest by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences (ICPC), over contract awarded by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).

Chukwuma, in a statement by his Media Aide, Obi Chukwuemeka, yesterday, said he is currently in his office working contrary to reports.

“Our attention has been drawn to a false report circulating on Anambra social media platforms and other news outlets, alleging that Sir Paul Chukwuma is being detained by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). We wish to state categorically that this report is entirely false.

“Sir Paul Chukwuma is currently at work in his office and is not in detention.

“Fides et Ratio, founded by Sir Paul Chukwuma, has always complied with contractual obligations and adhered to the principles of accountability and transparency.

“The ICPC has the mandate to supervise contractual requirements and request documents to ensure compliance. Once requested, every law-abiding company is required to comply with the agency’s request and provide requested documentation.

“Fides et Ratio will continue to collaborate with the ICPC to demonstrate adherence to regulatory provisions, as the company is built on transparency and respect for the law.”
