The Presidency has said that the
Presidential Committee ordered earlier this week by President Buhari to probe certain allegations against the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, Engineer Babachir Lawal, and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Mr.
Ayo Oke, will do its work with uttermost diligence and without fear or favor.
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, in a statement released today, said the committee had already commenced its work in earnest.
President Buhari on Wednesday
established the 3-man panel headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, with Attorney-General & Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami and National Security Adviser, Rtd Major
General Babagana Munguno as
members, to investigate allegations of legal and due process violations made against the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF and the discovery of large amounts of
foreign and local currencies by the
Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, in a residential
apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos. In the
discharge of its work, the panel is
expected to invite all relevant officials and private individuals who may be connected to both cases. It will also obtain and scrutinize documents that
may throw some light on the issues raised in both cases. All its
proceedings will however be in
closed sessions to avoid speculations, allow for full disclosure and enhance the pace of proceedings. The panel which is expected to submit its report to the President at the expiration of the 14-day deadline, will
conduct it’s work with utmost
diligence and without fear or favour.
