Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has ordered for the immediate sack and replacemement of the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ayo Oke.
This was made known through the yet to be submitted three-man Presidential Panel report, headed by Osinbajo, that probed the alleged infractions against Babachir and Oke, within two weeks.
Other members of the Investigation Panel are: the National Security Adviser, General Babagana Monguno (rtd); and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
Babachir was investigated for allegedly awarding millions of naira contracts to a company, in which he had interest, Global Vision Limited, under the Presidential Initiative on the North East, PINE.
Oke, was probed for an alleged $43.4 million operations cash, found by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission at apartment 7B, in Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos.
A senior government official who is close to the Panel, confirmed that the report of the investigations indicted both officials.
“The report of the investigations is ready. The two suspended officials were recommended for total disengagement and replacement. It is clearly stated in the report, that they should not be brought back to their positions. They are to be disengaged as recommended.
“As promised, the Committee gave fair hearing to all the parties involved. It was a thorough investigation. You would recall that the investigation was slightly extended beyond the two-week period which Mr President gave the Committee”, the source stated.
In a statement issued on May 3, the Senior Special Assistant to the Acting President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, had said that the Panel was scheduled to submit its report to President Buhari, on Monday, May 8.
However, Buhari left Nigeria for the United Kingdom, on May 7, for a follow-up consultation with his Doctors.
