“He faced a six-count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining by false pretense and has been suspended from the Service.

“The Service, on the approval of Civil Defence, Corrections, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) had, on the 26th October, 2020, suspended the officer based on the charge of grouse misconduct reported against him.

“The Service will not take lightly any case of such misconduct against any of its personnel.

“It can be recalled that recently, the CDCFIB approved the dismissal of seven senior officers from the Service based on the recommendation of the Senior Officers Disciplinary Committee, ” he said.

Ahmed called on members of the Public with similar or any case against members of staff to forward such to the office for appropriate disciplinary actions.
