FG Sends Nta Ekpo On Compulsory Leave by kahal29: 2:44am On Oct 26, 2016
Mr. Nta Expo, Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, may have been sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari.

An ICPC source told Vanguard, yesterday, that a letter from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, informed Mr. Expo that he should proceed on compulsory leave beginning from today, October 26.

The source told Vanguard that the Chairman had earlier received two letters from the office of the SGF, informing him to proceed on compulsory leave, which he allegedly ignored.

Mr. Nta was appointed by President Jonathan in acting capacity in 2011 and was confirmed a year after by the Senate.

It was gathered that at a meeting with President Buhari earlier this year, Expo had argued that his tenure would end on November 17, 2017, to which the President allegedly retorted that by his records, the tenure of the ICPC head ends on November 17, 2016.

Vanguard learned that the Chairman plans to formally inform staff of the commission about his formal exit this morning.

Although no reason was given for the abrupt sack of the ICPC boss, it was gathered that his handling of corruption cases against former governors may have nailed him.

He was sacked because he refused to be used as an attack dog like EFCC and DSS are being used. They will soon fabricate another corruption charge against him. Watch and see if they will not appoint a Northerner to take his place.

Must you comment ? Hungry for likes i guess? Y'all just sit in your dingy hole with stubby fingers typing any kind of ish that comes to you, background info about events? No need... Buhari hate is steroid for your type.


No need fabricating nothing against the man, the man is not of the kind of morals/conduct for such a sensitive office.... To put it bluntly, is a thief. cool He is a true disciple of Clueless IB.... Stealing is not corruption advocate..

ICPC is a mere duplication of EFCC's function that shouldn't have been in the first place..

Am even surprised he lasted this long, months after members of staff of ICPC petitioned Buhari to look into the man's running of the commission.
