He noted that his office had not officially started the sale of the property.
He said the panel would verify the authenticity of the media report that a syndicate from the ministry sold government’s recovered properties without his knowledge.
The panel is expected to complete the assignment within a period of one week and submit the report of their investigation to the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice..
