FG sends ICPC boss, Nta Expo on compulsory leave
An ICPC source yesterday said that a letter from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, informed Mr. Expo that he should proceed on compulsory leave beginning from today, October 26. The source also said that the Chairman had earlier received two letters from the office of the SGF, informing him to proceed on compulsory leave, which he allegedly ignored.
Mr. Nta was appointed by President Jonathan in
acting capacity in 2011 and was confirmed a year after by the Senate. It was
gathered that at a meeting with President Buhari earlier this year, Expo had
argued that his tenure would end on November 17, 2017, to which the President
allegedly retorted that by his records, the tenure of the ICPC head ends on
November 17, 2016.
Chairman plans to formally inform
staff of the commission about his formal exit this morning. Although no reason
was given for the abrupt sack of the ICPC boss, it was gathered that his
handling of corruption cases against former governors may have nailed him.
