Osakwe allegedly used his Crisis Control Foundation and the ICPC name for fraudulent activities
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has declared former anti-corruption agent, Ezetakwulu Osakwe wanted for allegedly using his Crisis Control Foundation (CCF) for fraudulent activities in the name of the Commission.
ICPC’s Resident Consultant, Media and Events, Fola Rotimi in a statement released on Friday, said Osakwe used CCF/ICPC logo to deceive the public.
According to the statement, Osakwe whose CCF had been de-registered by the National Anti-Corruption Coalition (NACC), raised a false alarm that an “ICPC office” at Apapa was gutted by fire on February 10, 2012.
The Commission however denied the story, which was published in a Punch Newspaper report on February 15, 2012, ever happened.
“He (Osakwe) was arrested and questioned by the Police, Panti Street, Lagos on 20th February 2012 but released on bail same day. Since then, he has been evading arrest by the Commission,” the statement read.
“Already two of Mr. Osakwe’s employees, Herbert Duru and Rose Ndudi Umenduka, had been arrested and questioned by ICPC investigators in Lagos. They were released on bail after making useful statements that would suggest that the CCF office fire incident was not an accident.
“Mr Osakwe’s last known address was at Greenlands Plaza, 67 Iju Road, Agege. The place is under lock. The ICPC has called on members of the public who know Mr. Osakwe’s whereabouts to contact the ICPC offices or the nearest police station.”
