He said, “this was as a result of a petition jointly signed and presented to the commission by 39 members of the Agency, alleging that their three months salaries are being withheld without any reason.

“They further alleged that the suspects refused to pay their salaries and diverted the money for their personal use, and all efforts made to get their salaries paid, proved abortive.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that the duo conspired and diverted about N10million funds meant for the Marshal’s salaries,” he disclosed.
