The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has warned that it will not spare anybody that violates the Supreme Court judgment on local government financial autonomy.
Chairman of the Commission, Musa Aliyu, told newsmen on the sidelines of the sixth General Assembly of the Network of National Anti-corruption Instructions in West Africa (NACIWA) in Abuja, that the Commission would give a close watch especially on State Governors.
“For any person at the state level to breach that decision is gross misconduct, which is an abuse of office.
“We at ICPC, are going after anybody that goes against the decision of the Supreme Court on the issue of local government autonomy.’’
The Supreme Court, on July 11, granted local governments across the country financial autonomy.
