Nigeria In One Minute

We’ll arraign ex-IG Ehindero for alleged fraud, says ICPC

The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission has said that it is set to resume the prosecution of a former Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Sunday Ehindero, at a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, for alleged criminal conversion of money belonging to the Ministry of Police Affairs into personal use while he was at the helm of the Nigeria Police Force.

The spokesperson for the ICPC, Mrs. Rasheedat Okoduwa, revealed this to our correspondent in an interview on Thursday.

Okoduwa revealed that the development followed a ruling of the Supreme Court which dismissed the appeal filed by Ehindero challenging the jurisdiction of the commission and that of the FCT High Court to try him.

Ehindero, who succeeded the convicted Tafa Balogun as IG in 2004, was said to have alleged diverted funds from the account of the police.
