The independent Corrupt Practices and other offences Commission (ICPC) has commenced investigations of four former governors following petition against them.
The four governors are former governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers,
Sullivan Chime of Enugu, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina and Rabiu Kwankwaso of
Kano.
Already four teams have been raised to visit the states to check the
books of the states to establish the allegations against the governors.
Sources at the commission revealed that the teams departed Abuja Monday
morning to the various states to carry out their investigations.
A source at the commission who does not want his name in print because
he is not authorised to speak on the matter stated that the allegations
bother on dubious awards of contracts as well as contracts awarded to
cronies and relatives of the former governors.
According to the source, the commission is committed to ensuring that
all petitions are investigated to the ironical conclusion and those
indicted or found to have compromised would be brought to book.
“We will ensure that we thoroughly investigate all allegations brought
before us so that no body would be left in doubt about our commitment to
fighting corruption. The chairman has dispatched a team to the affected
states and they are expected to report back in the next two weeks. No
body would be spared if found culpable” the source said.
