The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, is set to pick two former governors of Benue State,
Geroge Akume and his successor, Gabriel Suswam over issue bordering on
corruption.
According to PUNCH, the
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar
Malami, had written to the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and
other related offences Commission, directing the reopening of the cases of the
ex-governors.
Malami had since called
for the case files of the former state governors.
The AGF letter
defines high-profile cases as cases “involving alleged misconduct amounting to
economic sabotage; involving complex financial transactions or property
movement; involving any of the suspects, who is a politician, a public officer
or judicial officer; and where the subject matter involves government or
corruption of its official or involves the abuse of office.”
Others who will
soon face the music of the anti-graft commission alongside Suswam and Akume are,
They also include Ikedi Ohakim (Imo); Obong Victor Attah (Akwa Ibom); Achike
Udenwa (Imo); Abdullahi Adamu (Nasarawa); Gbenga Daniel (Ogun); Jolly Nyame
(Taraba); Boni Haruna (Adamawa); Rashidi Ladoja (Oyo); Attahiru Bafarawa
(Sokoto) and Adebayo Alao-Akala.
