The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is investigating the House of Representatives Committee that is looking into accusations of job racketeering within various ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).
This move followed petitions against the committee and allegations of bribery against the probe panel.
ICPC stated,“The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has commenced investigation into petitions received from Premium Times and Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, Chairman of the House of Representatives’ Ad-Hoc Committee on the Investigation of Job Racketeering and Gross Mismanagement in Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), over bribery allegations against the probe panel.”
Premium Times published a story that the Reps Committee has been engaging in extortion of money from heads of federal ministries, departments and agencies, including those of tertiary institutions across the country.
The story further claimed that the committee has been intimidating heads of agencies into paying huge bribes to avoid being disgraced in public and indicted in a report to be issued after the ongoing hearings to which almost all the heads of the nation’s federal institutions have been summoned to appear.
