“If you are fighting corruption you step on toes and you
would not be forgiven. So corruption is fighting back.

“From the look of things there are people trying to stop the
commission from its work,” Rimin Gado stated.

However, he commended the police authorities for clarifying
their position on the withdrawal, which was hinged on personnel audit, saying
that there was a communication gap on the development.

 

Rimin Gado noted that he is not the only one taking the heat
“as police officers involved in investigation of high profile cases are also
taking the heat”.

He, however, vowed that they will not relent but continue to

He added that the Commission will continue to learn from its
mistakes, stressing the need amend the law establishing the agency to give
specific roles to the police and other law enforcement agents.

 

According to him, between 50 and 100 suits were served on
the Commission asking it to stop investigation in high profile cases.

DSS and Ministry of Justice, adding that states like Jigawa and Benue are
emulating what the PCACC is doing.
