The Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) has disclaimed a syndicate headed by one Anthony Wemah with Phone number 08069502955 parading himself as ration and gas contract agent for the service.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Service Public Relations Officer, Mr Chuks Njoku, on Monday in Abuja.
Njoku said that the suspect had been deceiving unsuspecting members of the public and collecting money for the purpose of securing ration and gas contract for potential contractors.
According to him, members of the public are hereby informed that there is no officer or person in NCoS with the name CP Anthony Wemah as purported in the social media story circulating on ration and gas contract scam.
“The Service follow the standard contract award process as laid down by the Bureau for Public Procurement Act. The Service does not use agent(s), syndicate(s), private individuals nor receive financial inducement for the purposes;
“The Service dissociates itself totally from such illicit dealings and members of the public are advised to disregard entreaties from such groups/individual as they are fraudsters.
“Anyone who wishes to get ration contracts will have to tender when the contracts are advertised in both National dallies and Federal Tender Journal, then the qualified companies will be selected through procurement procedures
“List of qualified contractors will be published in the service notice board for appropriate documentation before the award letters will be issued,” he said.
Njoke called on the public to have nothing to do with any individual, agents or syndicate by procuring contract registration forms or paying any sum of money to same.
He noted that all payments for contracts were usually made through remita to government coffers.
