A source from the commission, who spoke in confidence said one of the suspects came from the Delta State’s office of the commission while the second employee worked at the commission’s headquarters.

The source said: “The two directors made a surprise visit to the commission’s headquarters on Saturday. They met some employees and demanded to know what they were doing at the office. They got satisfactory answers from them.

“They headed for the third floor of the headquarters and saw two employees coming out of the building and demanded to know their mission. But they could not explain what they were doing at the building.

“One of the directors opted to search their bag and discovered many sensitive documents belonging to the commission. One of the employees came from our Delta State office while the other one works in the head office. They were immediately handed over to the police.”

He said the suspects worked at the Human Resources Department of the commission.
