Director In Nigeria's Biotechnology Agency, Magdalene Isegohime, Arrested By ICPC Over Age Falsification

Magdalene Isegohime, the Director of Human Resources, National Biotechnology Development Agency, has been held by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission for falsifying her age.

Isegohime, who was originally born on March 13, 1968, as evident on the NABDA nominal roll for 2002 and personal emolument form in 2008, including the National Health Insurance Scheme, altered her date of birth in 2012 while enrolling for the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.

She altered her date of birth by two years by claiming to be born on March 13, 1970. 

According to findings by SaharaReporters, the woman did the alteration to extend her stay in the civil service.

A reliable source confided in our correspondent that 

Isegohime, who has been grilled by the anti-graft agency, will be charged to court any moment from now for the corrupt act.

"She won't get away with it. She cleverly altered her date of birth to 13/3/1970 during IPPS capturing in 2012. Her date of birth on NABDA Nominal Roll from 2012 till date is now 13/3/1970, being the custodian of her confidential file as Director of Human Resources," the source said. 

NABDA was established in 2001 by the Nigerian Government to promote, coordinate and set research and development priorities in biotechnology for Nigeria.
