The Senior Special Assistant to Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, on
Media and Publicity, Mr Laolu Akande, on Sunday, said the presidency has
yet decided the fate of the suspended Secretary to the
Government of
the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal and the Director-General of the
National Intelligence Agency, Ayo Oke.
A three-man panel, consisting of the National Security Adviser, Gen.
Babagana Monguno (rtd) and the Attorney-General of the Federation,
Abubakar Malami, headed by Osinbajo, had investigated Babachir for
alleged violations of law and due process in the award of contracts
under the Presidential Initiative on the North-East; and Oke, for the
$43.4m stashed away at a residential apartment at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi,
Lagos.
A report was submitted on May 7 before President Muhammadu Buhari travelled to the United Kingdom.
Responding to media inquiries on the report of the investigations on Sunday, Akande called for patience.
“When time comes, the outcome of the panel would be made manifestly
public, and Nigerians would be satisfied. The two suspended officials
remain suspended,” he said.
