The Computer Guild of Nigeria has called on the Independent
Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crime
Commission (EFCC) to go after the recently resigned Communications Minister,
Barr. Adebayo Shittu, reports ITREALMS.
A press release issued and signed by the National President
of the Guild, Mr. Wole Adedoyin after an emergency meeting in Lagos, and made
available to ITREALMS, demanded the
probe of former Minister of Communications.
Adedoyin, who is also the National Coordinator of the
Information Technology Writers Association of Nigeria (ITWAN), urged ICPC and
the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to commence investigations
and probe of Minister Shittu’s past financial activities in the Ministry.
“We are fully aware that Minister Shittu awarded so many
contracts when he was in the Ministry. He cannot just leave the Ministry like
that without being probed before his resignation from the ministry, we have
heard lots of allegations and misdeeds committed by the Honourable Minister
apart from some hidden secret recently unearthed by one of his former Personal
Assistants. We, therefore, demand independent probe and investigation of
Minister Shittu by both the ICPC and EFCC and should be prosecuted if involved
in any financial scandal in the ministry” the group said.
