Opinion: Obono-Obla: The Hunter Now the Hunted, By Mawibe Sogan
The problem of corruption and how it has almost ruined our national life should be a thing of concern to all good people of this great country. I am one among millions of Nigerians who have been at the receiving end of corruption.
As a result of what I have garnered from the media since last year, when the case of corruption and abuse of office was first levelled against Obono-Obla by ICPC, I find the recent media onslaught launched against the Commission by the ex-SPIP boss rather repulsive, and I can’t seem to make any sense out of it.
One would think that the suspended SPIP chairman, a law advocate and head of a panel to tackle corruption would come out clean by clearing the allegations leveled against him. Instead, he has resorted to media propaganda to cast aspersions on the Commission for performing its statutory duties. The Commission is also known to always operate within the ambit of its enabling law and would not venture into any case outside the scope of its jurisdiction. It has been reported that it usually transfers cases outside its purview to appropriate agencies.
