President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday submitted himself to
the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, for probe over criminal
allegations against him by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
It
would be recalled that the former President Obasanjo wrote an 18-page
open letter to Jonathan, in which he accused the incumbent President of
incompetence, engaging in anti-party activities, ethnicism and training
about 1,000 snipers ahead of the 2015 polls.
However, Jonathan in
response denied all the allegations. Moreover, the President is
specifically inviting the rights commission to unravel the truth in the
allegation that his government had begun training over 1,000 snipers to
terminate his political opponents.
In a letter to the commission,
President Jonathan is seeking for a thorough investigation of the
allegations against him, touching on alleged human rights abuses.
The letter, signed by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, SAN, has been already submitted to the NHRC.
According
to the sources close to the Presidency, similar letters were written to
the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences
Commission, ICPC, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC.
The two anti-graft agencies are to probe allegations of
economic crimes and official corruption against the Jonathan’s
administration as contained in Obasanjo’s letter.
