It would be recalled that some victims such as Musa Ibrahim, Abdulrahman Yasou had appeared before the lawmakers on Monday this week.
At their appearance,
the victims had alleged that they parted with millions of Naira to the Commissioner through his personal driver to get employment slots in the Federal Character Commission.
But Alakai in his swift reaction told the lawmakers that he had to inform the police who immediately swing into action when his name was portrayed in bad light over the allegation of job racketeering.
The Committee also took oral testimonies from many witnesses such as Badamasi Jalo, Abdulaziz Azara, Musa Ibrahim and two other victims of employment racketeering by the former Desk Officer of the Federal Character Commission FCC but currently working with Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCOM.
Those who testify before the House probe panel included Jalo who claimed that Kolo collected N1.2 Million from him for IPPIS capturing and asked him to look for other persons to be employed in another agency.
