Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, (ICPC) has refuted claims that it has files implicating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu or his close aides at its headquarters or offices across the states of the federation, in its custody.
Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the ICPC spokesperson, Azuka Ogugua on Saturday , made this statement in response to a report which claimed that the Department of State Services (DSS) is removing all incriminating files from the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and ICPC relating to Tinubu and his close aides and associates.
She said the attention of the commission was drawn to a spurious news report by an online medium, titled “Secret Police, DSS Carts Away Files Implicating President Tinubu, Close Aides from ICPC, CCB”
Ogugua described the report as fake.The commission stated that it was deeply disturbed by irresponsible practice and non-adherence to the tenets of the journalism profession by some media outlets.
The anti graft agency also urged media organisations not to allow the use of their medium to propagate lies and unfounded reports by subversive agents as the commission’s channels of communications remained open for clarification and confirmation, the statement added.
Tinubu was arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal in September 2011 for allegedly operating foreign bank accounts, contrary to the constitution.
