“We will ensure that we thoroughly investigate all allegations brought before us so that nobody would be left in doubt about our commitment to fighting corruption.”

“The chairman has dispatched a team to the affected states and they are expected to report back in the next two weeks. Nobody would be spared if found culpable.”

Amaechi is also being probed by a judicial panel instituted by his successor, Nyesom Wike and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
