The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reacted to the reports that a mysterious snake swallowed N36m from the coffers of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), in Makurdi, Benue State.
Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency tweeted its own take on the story with the caption,”#TheEagle shows no mercy for money-swallowing snake(s)”.
Recall that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has suspended one of its employee, Philomina Chieshe, on account of the N36m which was reported to have been swallowed by a snake in the board’s office in Makurdi, Benue State.
