The Ondo State Internal Revenue Service (ODIRS) has dismissed as false a report circulating on social media alleging that its Head of Human Resources, Mrs. Jemilat Yusuf, was arrested by an anti-graft agency over a ₦900 million fraud.
In a statement, the management described the report titled “ODIRS HR Head, Jemilat Yusuf, Nabbed by Anti-Graft Agency Over Alleged ₦900 Million Fraud” as completely baseless and a calculated attempt to smear the image of the Service.
The management stated that no staff member, including Mrs. Yusuf, had been arrested, detained, or investigated for any financial misconduct. It added that there was no record or trace of such an amount in the Service’s financial system.
“The allegation of a ₦900 million fraud is unfounded and lacks any basis in fact or financial records of the Service,” the statement said.
The agency maintained that it operates a transparent and accountable system that is regularly audited and in full compliance with Ondo State’s financial regulations.
It further noted that appointments and promotions within ODIRS follow due process and civil service guidelines, warning that the false publication was a deliberate effort to distract from the reforms being implemented under Acting Chairman, Mr. Bayo Rojugbokan, FCTI, FCA.
The Service assured the public of its commitment to professionalism and integrity while confirming that it would take legal action against those behind the fake report.
