ICPC probes former govs Amaechi, Kwankwaso, Chime, Shema

The independent Corrupt Practices and other offences Commission (ICPC) has commenced investigations of four former governors following petition against them.

The four governors are former governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers, Sullivan Chime of Enugu, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina and Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano.

Already four teams have been raised to visit the states to check the books of the states to establish the allegations against the governors.
A source at the commission who does not want his name in print because he is not authorised to speak on the matter told Vanguard that the allegations bother on dubious awards of contracts as well as contracts awarded to cronies and relatives of the former governors‎.

According to the source, the commission is committed to ensuring that all petitions are investigated to the ironical conclusion and those indicted or found to have compromised would be brought to book.
