EFCC, ICPC not aware of Okonjo-Iweala's three big corruption cases


Anti-corruption agencies in the country have said they are not aware of the three big corruption cases the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi-Okonjo-Iweala, wanted them to prosecute.


Okonjo-Iweala last Wednesday said there were three big cases of corruption and graft the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission were going to prosecute.

The minister spoke in Abuja while unfolding her economic blueprint for the country.

While talking about strategies for good governance and corruption, Okonjo-Iweala said the EFCC and the ICPC had to recover all stolen assets of the country.

SUNDAY PUNCH's investigations at the EFCC and the ICPC, however, showed that the anti-graft agencies were not aware of the three big corruption cases the minister was referring to.

EFCC's Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Babafemi, said he didn't know the big cases the minister was talking about.

"If she mentions them I will know, but now I have no idea," he said.

The response was the same from the ICPC.

The commission said since the minister had not identified the specific cases, it could not make a comment.

ICPC spokesman, Mr. Folu Olamiti, said, "Maybe if they forward the cases to us, but right now I don't know about them."

The Human Rights Watch had in a report released last Thursday said the efforts in the war against corruption had fallen short.

You wan kill am?

Seriously, I think Ngozi coming along is a big boost for 9ja. Foreign Investments will follow and those thieving ministers will now have to think twice. I commend GEJ on this one even though he is clueless!

No doubt GEJ's cluelessness is legendary - I wouldn't be surprised if he is on that list of 3.

Maybe even him and his wife are the first two Okonjo-iweala is looking at - grin

Re: Okonjo-iweala adds EFCC to Portfolio - Plans To Pursue 3 Big Corruption Cases by elegal1(f): 5:07am On Sep 01, 2011
Are we sure EFCC and ICPC can tackle this monstrous assignment?

Where will they start? What time frame will they cover?

The stealing and looting has continued unabated because no one ever got punished for these offences along the way.

LET EVERY ONE WHO HAS EVER HELD ANY POSITION ANYWHERE COME FORWARD AND GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIS/HER STEWARDSHIP IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Let's start from there.

Then let us invite the FBI and Scotland Yard to do the job for us. Period.

I hope she's not intending to blow the whistle on her former boss, OBJ. I doubt if she has the strength to fight the roforofo fight that will ensue.

I can guess who these three are: Patience Jonathan, Tony Anenih and Obasanjo grin grin Am not surprised that both the ICPC and EFCC are not aware of who the suspects are. Believe me even GEJ does not know.
