Company sacks 17 for fraud

Seventeen employees of Lekki Concession Company Limited (LCC)
have been sacked by the management of the company over sharp
practices.

The affected staff who were toll collectors at the gantries of
the Lekki, Eki-Osa, Epe Expressway toll gates were handed their
summary dismissal letters Thursday, November 23.

According to the dismissal letter of one of the affected staff
signed by Head, Human Resources of LCC, Mr. Deyemi Adekoya,
“between the months of June and October, 2017, investigations into
your vehicle processing revealed that you deliberately
under-classified several vehicles, thereby defrauding the company
of cash estimated at the sum of N182, 451 (One Hundred and Eighty
Two Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty One Naira). You enriched
yourself at the expense of the company contrary to the terms of
your engagement.

“Consequently, in line with the company’s Staff Policy, under
Financial Discipline, Page 32, which stipulates summary dismissal
for fraudulent activity and dishonesty, and in line with the
recommendation of the Disciplinary Committee, you are hereby
summarily dismissed from the employment of LCC for gross misconduct
effective November 23″.

Adekoya, however, noted that investigations were ongoing into
another batch of suspected fraudulent staff of the company.

He said as soon as investigations into their cases “are
concluded, they will be thrown out of the company”.
