The Commission, in a statement on Thursday, said the officials were apprehended in Lagos, alongside other persons that were involved in the fraud.
It said the arrest followed a collaboration between the Commission, the Department of State Services, DSS, and the FRSC.
According to the statement that was signed by ICPC’s spokesperson, Mrs. Azuka C. Ogugua, the operation was conducted in Ikeja, Somolu, Eti-Osa, and Anthony Drivers’ License Centres.
“Other places were Ojo, Oshodi, University of Lagos, Surulere, Agege and Coker centres in Lagos State.
The Commission received information that the officials connive with touts to extort extra fees from applicants before their drivers’ licenses and vehicle particulars are processed.
“The officials have been granted administrative bail by the Commission and would be arraigned in court when investigations have been concluded.
“This exercise is a continuous one and similar operations will be carried out in other centres in order to rid motor licensing administration of fraud being perpetrated on the public”, the statement added.
