Would you consider supporting us with a modest contribution on a monthly basis to help maintain our commitment to free, accessible news?“Procurement of political appointments by some suspected or investigated looters who are serving under the current administration as ministers, legislators, or occupying leadership positions of the ruling party, has exposed anti-corruption work to serious setbacks and deliberate sabotage that cripple the efficiency of the anti-corruption agencies.

The current chairperson of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, also faces raging allegations of accepting bribes in dollars as governor of Kano State, over which the state’s anti-corruption agency still seeks to prosecute him. The allegation the basis for the move by his party members at his ward in Kano State to suspend him.

He also noted that instead surrendering themselves for trial, many politically exposed persons facing corruption allegations resort to “malicious attacks and deliberate efforts to blackmail anti-corruption agencies through sponsorship of influencers, incentivised opinion publications in some national dailies, online and electronic platforms, all targeted at discouraging anti-corruption efforts and shielding the kleptocrats from a thorough investigation.”.

He added that the exploitation of vulnerable youth by corrupt politicians exacerbates societal instability and perpetuates the cycle of corruption. “We urge IGP Egbetokun to promptly reinstate the police personnel withdrawn from the Kano State Anti-Corruption Commission, to facilitate the effective execution of Commission’s duties. Nigeria Police must avoid actions that may portray it as being submissive to politicians,” he said.EFCC receives Interpol delegation, affirms commitment to fight against cybercrimes
