The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has invited the commissioners for interrogation.
Also invited to Abuja by the anti-graft agency are all the accountants and auditors of all the ministries in the outgoing Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala administration.
Commissioner for Environment Mr. Mukaila Aborode has demanded from the commission’s “a defined focus” of investigation.
