ICPC Chairman To Personally Prosecute People Charged With Corruption

The newly-appointed Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, Dr Musa Aliyu (SAN), says he will be the lead prosecutor of persons the commission charges with corruption.

The ICPC chairman, who said that he would lead by example, expressed the determination to do things differently from what obtained in the past.

He said one of the steps he would be taking to improve the system is to act as lead prosecutor and appear in court to prosecute cases he said he felt warranted him to do so.

Aliyu added, however, that he would assign some of the cases to senior lawyers in the commission from time to time.

The ICPC Chairman also said he is determined to ensure that justice is not just done, but seen to be done.
