JAMB #36 MILLION SWALLOWED BY SNAKE
Team of auditors were dispatched to different state offices of
JAMB to take inventory of the sold and unsold scratch cards and recover whatever money that might have either been generated or mismanaged during the period of the sale of scratch cards. On their visit to JAMB office in Markurdi, a sales clerk, Philomena Chieshe, was unable to account for #36 million, that was made previous years before the abolition of scratch cards.
In the course of interrogation, Philomena confessed that it was her housemaid that connived with another JAMB staff, Joan Asen to "spiritually" steal the money from the vaults in account's office.
She said: "I was one of the four sales clerk attached to JAMB office in Markurdi. My responsibility was to sell scratch cards to candidates and not involved in handling the revenues. It was the responsibility of Joan Asen and my other senior colleagues. I only remit money when I'm done selling the cards.
Philomena in her confessional statement said that Joan Assen and her accomplices confessed that they have been stealing the money "spiritually" through a mysterious snake that always sneak into the office to swallow the money from the vault.
According to her: " it was a mystery to me too. I've been saving the money in the bank, but I found it difficult to account for it. So I started saving it in a vault in the office. But each time I open the vault I will find nothing. I became worried and surprised how the millions of naira could be disappearing from the vault. I began to interrogate everybody in the house and office, and no one could agree on what might have happened to the money. I continued to press until my housemaid confessed. She said the money disappeared "spiritually". She said a "mysterious snake" sneaked into the house and swallowed the money in the vault.
