President Bola Tinubu orders the arrest of George Buchi Nwabueze and suspends three permanent secretaries after the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) uncovers what is described as a new fake agency.
According to reports, the issue comes to light during ICPC investigations and involves the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF). Punch (Nigeria) and Legit.ng both say Nwabueze is the person Tinubu directs to be arrested. Both outlets also link the suspensions to the same probe, although the articles differ in how they describe or frame the broader administrative actions and the emerging details. The reporting also attributes the development to the ICPC’s findings, indicating ongoing anti-corruption work and further scrutiny within government operations.
While the core elements—Tinubu’s order for an arrest and the suspension of three permanent secretaries—are consistent across outlets, the specific context and additional particulars are presented with different emphasis. The reports point to a suspected scheme involving a “fake agency” connected to the OSGF, and the matter is presented as part of wider efforts to address corruption and misconduct.
