FEDERAL Government’s anti-corruption
operatives have been sent after ‘super rich’ public officers who have
multiple properties and other assets suspected to have been the rewards
of graft.
For now, The PUNCH learnt, the
searchlight of the anti-corruption agents was on civil servants that
possess many properties in the Federal Capital Territory.
Our correspondents learnt in Abuja on
Wednesday that operatives in the Assets Tracing, Recovery and Management
Unit of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences
Commission had been asked to haul in suspects for interrogation and
recovery of ill-gotten assets in their possession.
It was gathered that the ICPC had
strengthened the ATRMU by posting more personnel to the unit to ensure
the success of its campaign.
An operative at the ICPC, who confided
in one of our correspondents, said the ICPC was using the
anti-corruption transparency unit of the commission in ministries,
departments and agencies to coordinate the ongoing investigation of the
“super rich” civil servants in the country.
