''How many Government officials have you brought to book for their corrupt practices in office. Your agency was created to fight corruption in public institutions but you have drifted to chasing members of the public up and down.''

In another report, the federal government’s war on corruption got a boost after it secured a five-year jail term for Mohammed Ibrahim Hassan, a civil servant who defrauded the Kano state government of N513, 445.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) disclosed in a statement on Wednesday, February 10, that it charged Hassan on 4-counts of allegedly forging a treasury receipt of the Kano state government.
The ICPC told the Kano State High Court that the accused, who is a staff of the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA), committed the offence between June 2017 and March 2018.
