President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the embattled Chairman of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), Mr Okoi Obono-Obla, Igbere TV reports.

President Buhari also dissolved the panel and ordered the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, to immediately take over all outstanding investigations and other activities of the SPIP.

This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, and obtained by Igbere TV.

The panel was established in August 2017 by the then Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, to investigate specifically mandated cases of corruption, abuse of office and similar offences by public officers.

Adesina in the statement said President Buhari thanked all members of the dissolved panel for their services, and wished them well in their future endeavors.

“The President looks forward to receiving the final Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) report on the ongoing investigations of the dissolved panel’s Chairman,” he added.

Igbere TV reports that Obon-Obla was earlier suspended as the chairman of the SPIP, over alleged certificate forgery and issues bothering on corruption.

He is currently under investigation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
