Published by

FOLLOWING persistent media reports linking top members of his administration to corruption, President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Attorney General of the Federation to investigate such people linked to corrupt practices.

This was disclosed by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, in a two paragraph statement released on Sunday night in Abuja.

It read: “The attention of the presidency has been drawn to a number of reports in the media, in which various accusations of corruption have been leveled against some top officials in the administration.

“In that regard, President Buhari has instructed the Attorney General of the Federation to investigate the involvement of any top government officials accused of any wrong-doing. If any of them are liable they will not escape prosecution.”

Since the advent of this administration, there have been growing calls for the president to investigate Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and more recently, the Secretary to Government of the Federation Babachir David over corruption allegations against them.
