President Muhammadu Buhari has given the anti-graft agencies in the country the go ahead to immediately commence full investigation into the activities of three ministers serving under him following petitions from civil society and members of public, IgbereTV reports.
A report revealed that an impeccable source who is privy to the matter hinted that the letter to this effect was issued penultimate week ago.
Agencies concerned have reportedly commenced investigations of the ministers with the affected individuals expected to be invited this week for interrogation according to the impeccable source, TheStreetJournal report.
The anti-graft agencies involved are the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, who confirmed to The Street Journal that they have received directives from the president to conduct a thorough investigation on the activities of the ministers.
However, they added that it’s not a new thing.
“It’s not a new thing for us to be directed by Mr President to investigate petitions from members of the public. Investigation does not mean they are guilty. You are aware of the Position of Mr President on the ongoing war against corruption. There is no sacred cow in the record of President Buhari on the fight against corruption and that is the Position of our chairman,” the source said.
When The Street Journal pressed our source further, he said, “we have gone far and you will hear from us soon, that’s the only thing that I can tell you for now”
