President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission to compile documents on funds stolen under President Goodluck Jonathan.

The PUNCH reliably learnt on Sunday that the
directive was part of efforts to know the exact
amount stolen under the Jonathan administration
with a view to tracing them to foreign countries.
It was learnt that such documents would be needed
by the international community, which had
expressed readiness to assist Nigeria to recover the
funds.

Buhari, had in a live programme, Good Morning
Nigeria, on the Nigerian Television Authority, on July 27, said the international community was willing to assist Nigeria to recover stolen money.
He had said that his administration had started
compiling necessary documents that would enable
the international community to assist Nigeria recover the funds.

The President had stated, “We are trying to get these documents; we are getting cooperation from the international community. We are going very soon to make sure that those who perpetrated this crime against Nigeria will be faced with facts and be taken to our courts.”

It was gathered that, in a bid to carry out the
presidential directive, the two agencies had started
analysing petitions written against ministries,
agencies and departments with a view to getting the
amount stolen and those responsible for it.
An operative of one of the anti-graft agencies, who
confided in one of our correspondents, said the
managements of the anti-graft agencies had been
engrossed in a sectorial analysis of petitions received from the various government agencies.
Investigation revealed that the anti-graft bodies were focusing attention on the top ministries, department and agencies which attracted massive budgetary allocations from the Federal Government under the previous administration.

The source said that the President’s directive was
given shortly before his trip to the United States on
July 20, 2015.

The directive was said to have triggered a flurry of
activities among the anti-graft agencies. It was further gathered that the Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Larmorde, whose agency is the bigger of the two agencies, called for all the petitions
and files against the various government bodies with a view to commencing holistic investigations in line with the government directive.

It was gathered that the files were allocated to the
various units of the commission to commence the
process of invitation, and interrogation designed to
find out how much was missing and the process of
prosecution. It was further gathered that the ICPC on its part had been involved in a discreet investigation of civil servants believed to have acquired a lot of properties in Abuja with stolen funds.

Several political office holders in the previous
administration had been quizzed for alleged
corruption while many are said to be on the waiting
list of the EFCC and the ICPC for interrogation.

The source said, “I think what is happening is not
sudden; the President gave an instruction to the EFCC and the ICPC to ensure that they submit how much has been stolen in the various sectors of the
economy. “Since then, the Chairman of the EFCC called for all the files of the various agencies; they are quite many and they were being sifted.
“The ongoing investigation is meant to give the
Presidency an idea of what was stolen within the
country and in some cases outside.”

When our correspondent contacted the Resident
Consultant, Media and Events of the ICPC, Mr. Folu
Olamiti, he said he would not comment on the story.

It's about time to unveil the can of worms. The devil would agree that he's an IT student compared to our politicians during these investigations.

It seems Jonathan agreed that the President probes his administration and gets a soft landing in return as long as he's willing to cooperate.

We are getting there…

We shall start seeing different sick reports from the ex ministers and people indicted in few days time.

Yes, he has started working and that was why Jonathan was said to be in an alleged "secret meeting" with him some days ago.

By the way, it seems you just heard the word "propaganda" because the way some of you use it, even after the elections is very disturbing.
