The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) has declared one Grace Nwauzor wanted for defrauding some hapless Nigerian job seekers to the tune of N50 million.
Nwauzor, a staff in the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, OHCSF, and an indigene of Aboh, Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State was declared wanted on Friday.
According to ICPC’s spokesperson, Rasheedat Okoduwa, the suspect allegedly duped many unsuspecting Nigerians seeking employment into the Federal Civil Service.
According to Okoduwa, preliminary findings revealed that the suspect was a Grade Level 12 officer in the career management section in OHCSF and a doctorate degree holder.
“We found that the woman ran an employment scam where victims were made to pay huge sums of money for jobs which they never got.

“The commission also discovered that the 46-year old Mrs. Nwauzor duped over 200 people through the job scam which began in 2012,” Okoduwa said.
According to the ICPC, the victims, after waiting endlessly for jobs that never came, petitioned the ICPC, which led to the investigation.
“Mrs. Grace Nwauzor is currently at large and the commission hereby declares her wanted for fraud.
“She is dark in complexion, and was last resident of Durumi District, Apo, Abuja,” the ICPC spokesperson stated.
