President Muhammadu Buhari has sent Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC. Ekpo Nta, on compulsory leave. This leave is believed to be a means to his sack.
A letter from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, informed Nta to commence the compulsory leave from October 26, Vanguard reports.
Nta was appointed by President Jonathan in acting capacity in 2011 and was confirmed a year after by the Senate.
It was gathered that at a meeting with President Buhari earlier this year, Nta had argued that his tenure would end on November 17, 2017, to which the President allegedly retorted that by his records showed the tenure of the ICPC head ends on November 17, 2016.
