The Code of Conduct Bureau has investigated 200 cases and filed 75 of them at the Code of Conduct Tribunal with about 100 cases still pending in the CCT. The Chairman of the CCB, Muhammed Isah, who stated this in Abuja on Thursday, put the amount involved in the prosecution of the over 200 cases at N40bn.
Isah spoke during a special Town Hall meeting on the fight against corruption organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission; Independent Corrupt Practices and Other-Related Offences Commission; Ministry of Justice; Nigeria Police Force and the CCB.
Isah said, “The CCB is so powerful that it polices everybody. The most talked about is assets declaration. Many public officers are afraid of assets declaration but there’s nothing to be afraid of in it. We have investigated 200 cases, filed 75 cases at the tribunal and about 100 cases pending at the CCT.
