ICPC has arraigned one Mr Oseni Adeolu Olayinka, a staff of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, Abuja, on a 3-count money laundering charge.

The accused was arraigned before Honourable Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja on Thursday.

In a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR/584/2024, the Commission accused Olayinka of acquiring millions of naira by including his wife and son on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) portal of the Ministry between 2023/2024 and corruptly receiving salaries through his wife's and son's accounts thereby committing an offence of money laundering.

The Ex-Naval Chief, Vice Admiral Jibrin Usman (Rtd.), and Brigadier-General Ishaya Bauka are still on ICPC's wanted list for their alleged involvement in a N3b fraud.

Therefore, any claim that the amended charges by ICPC have exonerated the duo of charges concerning embezzlement and abuse of office is fallacious and a figment of the imagination of the writers, it should be disregarded.

It should be clearly stated that there is a subsisting arrest warrant against the two ex-military officers, whoever sees them could assist in bringing them to justice.

ICPC has pledged to collaborate with the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) to enhance transparency, accountability, and good governance in the country.

The Chairman of ICPC, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, gave this assurance while receiving Mr. Oluwaseun Faleye, Managing Director, NSITF and a delegation at the Commission’s Headquarters on Tuesday.

ICPC has joined forces with the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to improve the mandates of the two agencies in anti-corruption.

The two agencies highlighted key strategies for collaboration to boost anti-corruption efforts when the Acting Controller General of the NCoS, Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, MFR, and his team paid a visit to the Chairman of the Commission Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, at his office in Abuja on Tuesday.
