Corrupt persons won’t be allowed to enjoy their loot – ICPC

 The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences
Commission, ICPC, has vowed that corrupt persons will not be allowed the luxury
of enjoying their loot.

 

The chairman of the commission, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, made
the assertion at the inauguration of the commission’s prototype state office
building in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

 

According to Owasanoye, the commission’s war against
corruption is steadily making progress with the collective commitment of
stakeholders in the country.

 

He explained that the ICPC, with the support of credible
partners, had been working to deal with Illicit Financial Flows (IFFS) out of
the country.

 

So far, he stated that their Proceeds of crime Tracing,
Recovery, Management tool has ensured that the corrupt are denied the luxury of
enjoying their loot.

 

He said, “The commission in this regard has in accordance
with the recently passed Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 disposed of some of the
moveable and immovable proceeds of crime on which it secured final forfeiture.”

 

The fight against corruption, according to him, is a
collective responsibility of all, not just of the anti-corruption and other law
enforcement agencies.

 

In this regard, he assured that they would fight corruption
to an existential threat to the stability of society and the peace and progress
of society, stressing that there is no middle course or alternative as they
either deal with the malady or it will ultimately trigger a social crisis.

 

While enjoining the Ondo government to join hands in the
fight against corruption, the chairman said that Ondo was among the states
giving home to one of the prototype buildings delivered in the first phase of
the commission’s initiative across the country.

 

The two-storey facility has a conference room, staff
offices, interview rooms, detention facility, library, and stores among others.

 

He said the edifice will also enhance the productivity of
its officers deployed to the state.
