SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, (THEWILL) – Okoi Obono-Obla, former chairman of the Special Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), has alleged that some persons, bent on demonizing him, are after him.
In a post on his Facebook page, Obono-Obla insisted that those who stole billions and contributed to wrecking the economy did not receive such treatment.
Obono-Obla, who was recently declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), described himself as a true patriot who did his job with utmost dedication.
“What are these people after me? They took their job away, yet they are not done! They smeared me in the media, they framed me! They lied against me!” he wrote.
“They declared me wanted! What offence have I, committed? Even those who have stolen billions or contributed to the wrecking of the national economy are not treated with such indignities.
“Those who have corruptly enriched themselves! They just want to humiliate me! They want to break me! They want to demonize me before Nigerians! I am a true patriot of Nigeria!
“I did my job with utmost dedication, dignity, integrity and commitment! God and history shall always vindicate the just! Nelson Mandela was persecuted, prosecuted, dehumanized and imprisoned for 27 years but he became a world icon!”
