Trouble began for Mr Obono-Obla in early August when a detachment of police officers from Force Headquarters sealed off his Asokoro, Abuja office.
President Muhammadu Buhari has dissolved the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property as currently constituted with Okoi Obono-Obla as Chairman.
The panel was established in August 2017 by the then Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, to investigate specifically mandated cases of corruption, abuse of office and similar offences by public officers.“The President looks forward to receiving the final Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission report on the ongoing investigations of the dissolved panel’s Chairman, a statement by Femi Adesina, the special adviser to the President on media and publicity, said.
An ad hoc panel set up by the House of Representatives, December last year had asked President Buhari to sack Mr Obono-Obla over allegation that he forged his high school certificate. The panel also accused the official of corruption. In August, the ICPC submitted an interim report to the presidency confirming that the official indeed forged his high school certificate.Multiple sources familiar with the investigation told PREMIUM TIMES the agency’s conclusion was that Mr Obono-Obla fraudulently squeezed himself into the University of Jos decades ago.
