President Buhari suspends SGF, Babachir Lawal and NIA boss

President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr David Babachir Lawal and ordered an investigation into the allegations of violations of law and due process made against him in the award of contracts under the Presidential Initiative on the North East.

 

A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina today says the President has also directed the suspension of the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ambassador Ayo Oke.

 

He also ordered a full scale investigation into the discovery of large amounts of foreign and local currencies by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in a residential apartment at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos, over which the NIA has made a claim.

 

The investigation is to enquire into the circumstances in which the NIA came into possession of the funds, how and by whose or which authority the funds were made available to the NIA, and to establish whether or not there has been a breach of the law or security procedure in obtaining custody and use of the funds.
