The Presidency said it
will soon publish the list of 200 individuals who corruptly acquired properties
across the country.
The
Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution, Okoi Obono Obla disclosed
this yesterday at the inauguration of a new software application for tracking
illicit properties in the country developed by a civil society organization,
African Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ) in Abuja.
Obla, who is also the
chairman of the Special Investigation Panel on the Recovery of Public Property,
said the list of properties located in highbrow areas such as Maitama in Abuja,
are linked to serving and past public office holders.
“Let
them tell us where they got the money to build these massive properties. If
they cannot explain, let them quietly return it to Nigerians,” he said.
Inaugurating
the properties tracker platform, he said the fight against corruption is for
all Nigerians because “we are all victims of corruption.”
The
Executive Director of ANEEJ, David Ugolor said the ‘propati tracka’ is an
online platform for mapping and sharing information on the owners of property
in specific districts of Abuja.
