LAW ENFORCEMENT STOPS INVESTIGATION OF KEMI ADEOSUN
The Independent Corrupt Practices and
other related offences Commission said on Monday that it had stopped
investigations into the use of a forged exemption certificate of the National
Youth Service Corps by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun.
The ICPC stated this just as the NYSC
said it had concluded its investigative report on the matter and submitted it
to the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, its supervising ministry The
former minister, who resigned on Friday, admitted that the NYSC exemption
certificate was not genuine.
The ICPC’s spokesperson, Mrs
Rasheedat Okoduwa, in a response to The PUNCH’s enquiry on the matter on
Saturday, promised to contact the ICPC authorities and get back on Monday for
an official position.
On Monday, Okoduwa in a text message,
said, “We stepped down the investigation into the matter so as not to duplicate
the efforts of another agency which had taken it up.”
The ICPC did not specify the agency
in follow-up enquiries.
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic
Party has told President Muhammodu Buhari to stop parading himself as ‘Mr
Integrity’ following alleged revelations that the Federal Government
smuggled Adeosun out of the country.
It alleged that the action was to
prevent her from “exposing how the Presidency cabal, including close relations
and associates of Mr President fleeced the nation of trillions of naira.”
