N292m has been found in the account of a recently retired permanent secretary following investigations by the ICPC, Punch reports.
 Reports say the ICPC made the discovery during the discreet investigations into the five months the permanent secretaries presided over ministries in the absence of ministers.
 Anti-graft investigators were said to have commenced probe into the permanent secretaries’ reign shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari submitted the ministerial list to the Senate.
 It was learnt that the investigators became curious upon discovery that the account of one of the permanent secretaries swelled up to N292m in the last five months.
 Other permanent secretaries are also being probed and some of them will face trial.
