N-Power Funds Fraud: ICPC Confirms Koko Master Arrest
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) confirmed on Wednesday the arrest and detention of Mr. Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo.
D’Banj, is widely referred as the Koko Master, ICPC claimed the popular artiste was arrested over the investigation of fraud associated with the N-Power Programme.
Our Correspondent reports that N-Power is a scheme established by President Muhammadu Buhari on 8th June, 2016, to address the issues of youth unemployment and empowerment, and help increase social development.
In line with its mandate, the Commission had received numerous petitions on the diversion of N-Power funds running into billions of naira following the approval and release of such funds to the beneficiaries by the Federal Government. Many N-Power beneficiaries had complained over the non-receipt of the monthly funds in spite of payment by the Government.
About 10 persons have been invited by the ICPC over the last few months in connection with the N-Power fraud, and have been granted administrative bail after their detention.
Investigations conducted by PERISCOPE NIGERIA showed that invitations sent to Oyebanjo, to appear before a team of investigators were ignored and not honoured.
