President Bola Tinubu has ordered the immediate arrest of George Nwabueze over the alleged operation of a fake government agency within the premises of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).
The President also directed the immediate suspension of three permanent secretaries following fresh findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The latest development forms part of the ICPC’s ongoing investigation into alleged fake government agencies and weaknesses in Nigeria’s public service processes.
According to TheCable, Tinubu issued the directives after receiving fresh findings from the anti-corruption commission.
Further details on the identities of the suspended permanent secretaries and the allegations against Nwabueze were not immediately available as of the time of filing this report.
The development is expected to trigger further investigations into the alleged activities of the fake agency and the circumstances surrounding its operation within the OSGF premises.
