Money Laundering: CCB Invites Buhari Minister over petition against Atiku
The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has invited the Minister of State for Labour and Productivity and the spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo, over a petition he filed requesting the probe of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Prior to the February 25 election, Keyamo had written a petition to the commission accusing Atiku of diverting public funds through special purpose vehicles when he served as Nigeria’s Vice-president.
Keyamo in his petition gave the CCB a 72-hour ultimatum to “arrest, invite, interrogate and prosecute” Atiku for the alleged offences.
In a letter dated March 28, the CCB invited Keyamo to the bureau’s office in Abuja to adopt his petition.
“This invitation is to enable you adopt the aforementioned petition and to provide any additional information that may be material to this investigation. You are requested to come along with one Michael Achimugu, to assist with enquiries regarding the attachments to your petition.”
