the suspended Chairman of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel on the Recovery of Public Property, OKOI OBONO-OBLA, has said the planned investigation by Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) would not be fair.

According to him, this is due to the closeness of the commission’s Chairman, Professor BOLAJI OWANSANOYE, to Vice-President YEMI OSINBAJO.

OBONO-OBLA stated this in a suit he filed to challenge the said probe for alleged certificate forgery and extortion.

Through his lawyer, Mr. FARUK KHAMAGAM, OBONO-OBLA also filed an ex parte application seeking an urgent hearing of the suit.

As sighted in the court papers, the plaintiff alleged that part of the reasons he was suspended as the SPIP chairman was that he was not taking instructions from OSINBAJO.

OBONO-OBLA also linked his travails to the investigations he launched against influential persons and organisations.
