ICPC urged to investigate alleged corruption in Kogi

The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has been called upon to take decisive action against alleged corruption in Kogi State.

Isaiah Davies Ijele, Convener of the Concerned Kogi Citizens Forum, alleged: “Despite significant funds allocated to the state in July 2024, contracted projects remain stagnant and nothing is being done except further looting of our treasury with impunity.”

The ICPC has reportedly faced some resistance in obtaining cooperation from the Kogi State Government, particularly in providing details of transactions in some ministries.

Ijele emphasised, “We urge the ICPC and EFCC to address these issues promptly to prevent continued injustices and grand looting in Kogi State.

“Our eyes are everywhere and we have details of their transactions and diversion of state funds in the guise of projects.”

The Forum said it had submitted petitions to the ICPC, EFCC, and the Inspector General of Police, calling for urgent action against corruption in the state.
