How ‘fake’ Made-in-Nigeria office penetrated states, foreign offices

A fictitious government office, allegedly operating without presidential authorization, has infiltrated state and federal institutions in Nigeria, according to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
