UPDATE: Group Gives EFCC, ICPC Ultimatum On Corruption Allegations Against JAMB Registrar
Adeleye Kunle Reports
An Abuja based Civil Society Organisation, Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum (ACIF), has given the Economic Financial Crimes and Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ( ICPC ) seven days’ ultimatum to make public their findings on the corruption allegations levied against the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede.
The organization also threatened court action against the anti-graft agencies if they failed to heed to the demands.
In a letter dated October 27, 2022, written to the EFCC and ICPC signed by Director of Communication, ACIF, BashorunOladokunAbdulwajeed, and made available to journalists in Abuja on Monday, the group alleged deliberate attempttosweep the case under the carpet.
ACIF noted that it has observed with keen interest the near comatose state of JAMB under the leadership of Oloyede.
It recalled that one of its sister Civil Society Organisations, Transparency Advocacy for Development Initiative (TADI) had on August, 21, 2022 written a petition with a view to drawing attention of the anti-graft agencies to certain indicting facts and documents uncovered against Oloyede.
The Forum observed that TADI on September, 19, 2022 also wrote the EFCC reiterating the need for Oloyede and Mufutau Alabi Bello, who presently serves as Director of Finance and Accounts (DFA) of JAMB to be investigated and possibly prosecuted for the economic crimes they have committed.
