Whistleblowing by norm has always been a hazardous undertaking. Frontline anti-corruption agency, Transparency International, says the conventional mandate of whistleblowers is to call out wrongdoings and expose the truth about suspected illicit deals that authorities in affected jurisdictions would want kept out of the know. “The world is facing the combined threats of a global pandemic, global heating, and deep structural inequalities made worse by entrenched corruption.
According to Special Assistant to the Justice Minister on Media and Public Relations, Dr. Umar Gwandu, whistleblowers would get rewarded only after they successfully recover suspected illegitimate funds for government, and not for merely providing actionable information about such funds. “It is the satisfaction of the above elements that entitles the whistleblower or recovery agent to a claim of success fee, and the payment is usually effected by the Federal Ministry of Finance and not the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation,” Gwandu further explained.
Parties concerned have rejoined to Okupurhe’s claims and counter-alleged credibility deficits on his part. The Nigerian Ports Authority denied operating the stated account warehousing the purported sum with Unity Bank. Rather, according to its General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications, Jatto Adams, the organisation operates another account having some $1.
