President Muhammadu Buhari has dissolved the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP) as currently constituted with Mr Okoi Obono-Obla as chairman.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Mr Femi Adesina, who disclosed this in a statement in Tuesday Abuja said the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has been directed to immediately take over all outstanding investigations and other activities of the SPIP.
The panel was established in August 2017 by the then Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to investigate specifically mandated cases of corruption, abuse of office and similar offences by public officers.
The president thanked all members of the dissolved panel for their services, saying he looks forward to receiving the final Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) report on the ongoing investigations of the dissolved panel’s chairman.
