PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has dissolved the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP) as currently constituted with Mr. Okoi Obono-Obla as Chairman.

A statement by the Special Adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice had been directed to immediately take over all outstanding investigations and other activities of the SPIP.

The panel was established in August 2017 by the then Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, to investigate specifically mandated cases of corruption, abuse of office and similar offences by public officers.

It added that President Buhari thanks all members of the dissolved panel for their services and looks forward to receiving the final Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, report on the ongoing investigations of the dissolved panel’s Chairman.
