A Kaduna State High Court, on Thursday, remanded a whistle-blower,
Abubakar Sani-Chindo, in prison for allegedly providing false
information that led to the raid on former Vice-President Namadi Sambo’s
residence in Kaduna by officials of the Independent Corrupt Practices
and other related offence Commission on June 28.
Sambo’s house
was raided thrice by the anti-graft agency, but failed to find
incriminating documents or stashed cash in the building.
The
ICPC, in two counts before Justice Aliyu Mohammed, accused Sani-Chindo
of providing the false information that led to the reported raid..
Counsel
for the ICPC, Elijah Akaakohol, added that the whistle-blower sometime
on June 21, 2017 gave the false information to the commission.
