An audit report submitted by the office of the
Auditor-General of Ondo State to the state House of Assembly for 2018 on Tuesday revealed that a total of 88 'ghosts'
received the sum of N48, 210,000 as car loan from the state government in 2018.
The report was submitted to the Assembly Committee
on Public Account, which was also looking into other finances of the state.
According to the report, some beneficiaries of the
loan got double car loans while 86 workers in both the civil and teaching
service collected loans above what they were qualified for.
It was through the audit report that the lawmakers
learnt that the sum of N4.3billion was stashed in a Zenith bank account for
over 10 years.
Part of the audit report stated that the sum of N9,
750, 000 was fraudulently disbursed to 16 non-public officers between October
and December 2018.
The report said further investigation showed that a
total sum of N38, 460,000 was given to 66 persons whose names could not be
found in the state salary payment register and who were consequently deemed to
be non-government employees.
The report said most of the disbursements were done
without regard to due process.
