THE Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission is alarmed at the rate owners of multi-billion naira housing estates in Abuja abandon their property the moment the commission initiates investigation into their ownership status.
The ICPC chair spoke as a special guest at a Forum of Special Anti-Corruption Situation Room, organised by the Human and Environmental Development Agenda . Owasanoye added that Sections 37 and 38 of the ICPC Act also empowered the commission to initiate such proceedings in court, where there is a suspicion that such assets were proceeds of crime.
“We feel that citizens should provide information and after providing information, to act as witnesses. The current administration has a very strong and viable whistleblowing policy. Also speaking at the event, the Director General of the National Orientation Agency , Mr. Garba Abari, said the anti-corruption war was being waged at all levels of government.
