Residents accuse ICPC of favouring senator who failed to distribute N117m constituency project items

The Sunshine Hotel hall, Enugu, venue of an anti-corruption sensitisation programme, was on Monday afternoon, thrown into rowdiness when an official of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission , Suleiman Achile, threatened to arrest a constituent.

Mr Igboke, who is the project manager, Advocacy Partnership for Good Governance, said Mr Utazi was being shielded because he was the chairman of the Senate Committee on Anti-corruption in the eighth assembly. Mr Achile’s statement was met with wild protests by tens of other constituents and participants at the programme, who shouted him down and demanded an apology.

“The items covered by this amount and recovered from the legislator are 168 and 51 numbers of motorcycles and tricycles respectively. They were discovered to be stashed away in a compound in Mkpologu town of the Uzo-Nwani Local Government Area, believed to be owned by the senator. ICPC findings indicated clearly that the contract for the procurement of the items was awarded on January 23, 2018, under the Sustainable Development Goals as part of the senator’s constituency projects.
