The Chairman of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for
the Recovery of Public Property, Okoi Obono-Obla, said on Tuesday
the Federal Government would soon take over empty houses in Abuja
and sell them.
Obono-Obla, who is also the Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Prosecution, stated this when the “Say No Campaign,” a
civil society organization, paid him a courtesy call in Abuja.
He said there was need for the government to collaborate with
civil society groups in order to search out properties of looters
of national treasury.
He said: “I want the houses taken over. That is where CSOs will
have to work together with us.
“We have to take over those buildings and sell them and maybe
put the money into education for our children.
“I was appointed to work to galvanise the anti- corruption war.
This assignment is a very important one and I will do it well.”
Obono-Obla said there was a law known as the Recovery of Public
Property special provisions Act which had been in existence for the
past 40 years without being implemented by successive regimes.
