The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the commission, on March 22, threatened to declare Jang wanted for allegedly spurning its invitation.
The ICPC, through a statement signed by its spokesperson, Mrs Rasheedat Okoduwa, said Jang had been evasive since October 2017, when it opened investigation into alleged corruption-related activities during his tenure.
Jang reacted through a statement by his media aide, Mr Clinton Garuba, on March 23, that there had “never been a time the commission invited him”.
