A major shake-up of the anti-graft
agencies, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), will be one of the major executive tasks to be performed by the President-elect, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, after his inauguration tomorrow.
New Telegraph has learnt that
Buhari, with his avowed commitment
to fight corruption, will in the shake-
up, replace the heads of the two
commissions, Ibrahim Lamorde
(EFCC) and Ekpo Nta (ICPC), within a
few weeks on assumption of office.
A source said Buhari was considering
appointing Assistant Inspector
General of Police, Zone 6, Mr. Tunde
Ogunsakin, to replace Lamorde.
Ogunsakin was once EFCC’s Director
of Operations before he assumed
higher responsibilities.
He added that the ICPC may be led by either a former military governor of Kaduna State, Colonel Umar Dangiwa (rtd) or a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Abubakar Tsav.
It was also gathered that a nationwide surveil-lance has been mounted to ensure that outgoing governors whose immunity had stalled proper investigation of “some serious petitions against
them” do not go on self-exile to avoid prosecution. Aside the governors, others being put under watch are ministers and some presidential aides whose closeness to the outgoing president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, had made investigations into graft allegations against them impossible and worrisome’.
Another source said the EFCC and the ICPC had mounted a nationwide
surveillance in order to prevent
probe-prone outgoing governors as
well as other top officials of the
current administration from escaping from the country. He said already, travel schedules,
especially those for foreign trips of
such officials for the next three
weeks were being monitored. Also,
airlines operating foreign routes have been mandated to furnish the
nation’s anti-corruption bodies with
travel schedules of top officials of the current government.
According to him, the move is aimed at ensuring that officials who have pending petitions against them, but whose closeness to the outgoing president has prevented them from being investigated, will be made to defend such and possibly cleared before travelling abroad. “There are several petitions against most of the officials, some of them are governors whose immunity will end on May 29; but the most impossible and perhaps
worrisome was the case of those
without immunity but who are close
to President Jonathan.

.All this crap journalism wen we dey practise for 9ja self,as new govt enter the head of these agencies nor go go b4?

Both ICPC and EFCC are non-existence throughout Goodluck administration.

When a president doesn't believe that stealing is corruption, how do you expect EFCC and ICPC to perform .

I hope the shake-up will start from the top to the bottom.
