The Independent Corrupt Practices
and other related offences Commission, ICPC, on Monday said that it had stopped
investigations into the use of a forged exemption certificate of the National
Youth Service Corps, NYSC, by former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun.
The ICPC stated this just as the
NYSC admitted that it had concluded its investigative report on the matter and
submitted it to the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development for supervision.
Adeosun had tendered her
resignation letter on Friday following allegation of forged NYSC certificate
against her and subsequently jetted out of Nigeria for the United Kingdom.
Speaking on the matter, the
ICPC’s spokesperson, Mrs Rasheedat Okoduwa, confirmed that the commission had
stopped investigations on the case.
On why ICPC dropped the case,
Okoduwa told Punch “We stepped down the investigation into the matter so as not
to duplicate the efforts of another agency which had taken it up.”
However, the ICPC did not specify
the agency in follow-up enquiries.
Also, the NYSC Director of Press
and Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, on Monday, said the scheme had
submitted its investigation to the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development for
any further action.
She, however, refused to answer
further questions concerning the case.
“The report has been submitted to
the Ministry of Youths and Sports Development and you can direct all your
questions to them,” she added.
