Constituency Project controversy. While on a standard review of constituency projects in September 2021, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission found that issues with Bomai's projects. First, a borehole supposed to have been dug in the Sabongari area of Nangere LGA was never dug while other boreholes were dug in the wrong communities or with substandard  generators. The other project that the ICPC inspection team flagged was a missing generator that had been stolen from the college it was given to. The inspection team leader ordered the contractor to fix the borehole issues and said the commission would work for the return of the stolen generator.
