Murtala Ibrahim, an auditor with the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), has been reportedly sacked three years after he was said to have exposed an official corruption.

Premium Times reports that Ibrahim was dismissed for the second time on September 26.

The report said Ibrahim had been facing maltreatment and his case was already before the House of Representatives.

However, Ibrahim’s dismissal letter was reportedly signed by the managing director of the bank, Ahmed Dangiwa, and the executive director, finance and corporate service, Melville Ebo.

In the letter, the duo told Ibrahim: “Management regrets to inform you that your services are no longer required as the board has approved your immediate dismissal.”

The report notes that Ibrahim is a first-class graduate of accounting and a chartered accountant, who had experience working with some commercial banks before moving to the FMBN in 2010 as a senior manager.

“I can say without mincing words that I am the most qualified professional accountant with relevant academic and professional qualifications in the whole of the Federal Mortgage Bank (of Nigeria) as at today.

“There is no other staff with a first-class degree in accounting or any other finance-related course throughout FMBN,” he said.
