President Bola Tinubu has directed that all civil servants drawing salaries from the government after relocating abroad should be made to refund the money, and also that their supervisors and department heads be punished for enabling this fraud.

Tinubu expressed his dismay at this situation, emphasizing that appropriate measures would be taken to ensure these individuals are punished and the money is returned to the government treasury.
