◾I’ve nothing to say- Chukwu
From Fred Itua, Abuja
FEW weeks after John Obinna Chukwu was fired as Permanent Secretary of Fed­eral Capital Territory (FCT), alongside 16 others, Daily Sun investigations revealed that Chukwu is among eight permanent secretaries being investigated by the Indepen­dent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Com­mission (ICPC).
The anti-graft agency had earlier carried out a discreet investigation, following the disclosure of an account of one of the permanent secre­taries which had about N292 million lodgements within a period of five months.
Daily Sun gathered that Chukwu may soon be quizzed on his involvement on some missing funds during the ten­ure of Senator Bala Moham­med as minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administra­tion ( FCTA).
Besides the alleged miss­ing funds, the anti-graft agen­cy may also quizzed Chukwu on some land matters.
When Daily Sun contacted Chukwu for comments, he said: “I do not have any com­ment to make regarding this issue.”
