President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed that anyone found culpable in the Osborne Towers scandal will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
Buhari issued the warning while receiving a report of the panel established to review the operational, technical and administrative structure of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).
Buhari described the huge sum discovered in the flat at the Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos in April this year as an “unfortunate incident which rightly aroused public interest and outcry.”
According to the President: “All the circumstances surrounding the obtaining, keeping custody and disbursement of the funds have been examined by the Vice President’s committee and all those found to be culpable will be made to account and appropriately sanctioned.
“However, it must be understood that this cannot be done in a manner that jeopardises National security or exposes the operations of any intelligence agency, which must, by nature, be conducted in secrecy.
“Suffice it for me to assure all that justice will be done consistent with our anti-corruption policies.”
