DIVERSION OF LG FUNDS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT EFCC, ICPC KNOWLEDGE – SHEHU SANI

Meanwhile, former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has tackled anti-corruption agencies, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corruption Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over the diversion of local governments allocations to state governments.

Senator Sani raised his concerns today in a post via his verified Twitter handle.

Recall that the Federal Government recently accused state governors of diverting local governments’ allocations.

The President had at an event on this week alleged that some state governors divert allocation to local governments councils sent from the federation account.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Activist, Shehu Sani, who is also a popular social critic has taken a different view of the matter, saying it isn’t possible to divert local governments’ allocation without the knowledge of EFCC and ICPC.

He further noted that no huge sum of money can move within the banking system without their eagle eyes, saying they can stop it if they want to.
