The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), says it has recovered over forty stolen vehicles belonging to the federal government.
The agency said it will arraign some government officials from whom the vehicles were recovered.
The ICPC announced the recovery of the vehicles at a news conference in Abuja, stating that the vehicles were recovered from the Water Resource Ministry.
The vehicles included; 14 Hilux pickup trucks, 14 luxury branded sports utility vehicles, 4 luxury branded saloon cars, and eight new edition Toyota saloon cars.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Water Resources, Rabi Jimeta, revealed that those responsible the stealing were from a particular cadre of the civil service.
