President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has suspended the Chairman of the Special Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, OKOI OBONO-OBLA.

 This was confirmed via the official twitter handle of the Presidency.

 According to the Presidency, the suspension is to be in effect until the conclusion of ongoing investigations by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission.

Lagos-based lawyer, MONDAY UBANI has made a reaction on the development.

There are indications that the Federal Government might ask the University of Jos to withdraw OBONO-OBLA’s Law degree while the Nigerian Law School might also be directed to bar him from practising as a lawyer.
