5 ex-Perm Secs to face trial for alleged corruption, N292m found in one account

-

Five of the affected 17 federal Permanent Secretaries that were sacked by President Buhari on Tuesday November 10th may face trial for alleged corruption. Information from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) indicates that N292 million was found in an account operated by one of the retired Permanent Secretaries account.

ICPC officials had commenced investigations into the personal accounts operated by the permanent secretaries immediately Buhari submitted the ministerial list to the Senate and it was discovered that the account had swollen to N292 million in just five months.

A source at ICP headquarters who spoke with Punch said

“It is true that the ICPC is probing the activities of the permanent secretaries. About N292m was traced to the account of one of the recently retired permanent secretaries. The commission has concluded investigating some of the permanent secretaries while others are still being investigated. For those that we have concluded investigations on them, we have sent their files to relevant places for action. It is not exactly true that those who were not sacked by the President in the recent exercise are innocent. They are also being investigated.”he said

The retired Perm Secs include Aliyu Ismaila; Godknows Igali; Alhaji Baba Farouk; Abdulkadir Musa; Linus Awute; Fatima Bamidele; Obinna John Chukwu; Ezekiel Oyemomi; Anasthesia Nwaobia; Tunji Olaopa; George A. Ossi ; Mike John Nwabiala; Mohammed Bashar and Abdullahi Yola.

Your pictures have never looked better.  But even though Apple has upped the ante in terms of hardware, it's highly unlikely you'll upload a picture to social media without slightly altering at least some part of it.  Luckily, there are some great alternatives to settling for those basic Instagram filters or sticking to the built-in camera tools.
