Barring last minute alteration in its decisions, the
Presidential Investigative Panel probing suspended Secretary to the Government
of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal and the Director General of the
National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ayodele Oke, may have set free the security
chief while recommending Lawal for criminal investigation and likely
prosecution.
The three-man panel set up by President Muhammadu Buhari,
under the chairmanship of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, was constituted two
weeks ago and given 14 days to conclude the assignment. Though it has concluded
the probe since Wednesday, May 3 the panel will submit its report to President
Buhari on Monday.
The panel, which also had the Attorney General and Minister
of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General
Babagana Munguno (Retd), as members, sat in camera throughout its work.
