ICPC To Revive 10 To 15-Year-Old Corruption Cases Abandoned In Courts

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) says it processed 851 petitions, with 342 assigned for investigation, 95 fully investigated, 72 cases filed in court, and 16 convictions secured in the last one year.
ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Aliyu (SAN), announced this accomplishment during an event commemorating his one-year anniversary as chairman.
“In this regard, we are streamlining our processes to ensure faster and more effective prosecution of cases, leading to the resuscitation of 10 to 15-year-old cases in courts.
“We have also advanced the fight against sexual harassment and corruption in educational institutions and public offices, achieving ongoing prosecutions and increased public support,” the ICPC chairman said.
Mr Aliyu said the agency has achieved significant milestones in its anti-corruption efforts, recovering over N52 billion and $966,900.83 in the past year.
He said the agency also intercepted and prevented the diversion of N5.882 billion across 323 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) within the same period, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
He attributed the significant milestone achievement to the steadfast commitment to the rule of law, adaptation to evolving trends and equipping its workforce with ICT capacity in the fight against corruption.
“These accomplishments include notable asset recoveries, enforcement actions, and initiatives promoting transparency and good governance.
The commission has achieved significant milestones in asset recovery, according to its Chairman, Mr. Aliyu. Notably, ₦29.70 billion in cash was recovered and is currently held in ICPC recovery accounts.
Additionally, ₦10.98 billion in Value-Added Tax (VAT) was recovered and remitted to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), while ₦10 billion in COVID-19 vaccine funds was returned to the treasury.
“As part of its commitment to institutional accountability, the Commission assessed 323 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) through its Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard (EICS).
“It also established 80 Anti-Corruption and Transparency Units (ACTUs) across MDAs to reinforce its anti-corruption efforts.
“While doing these, the Commission stopped the diversion of public funds to the tune of ₦5.882 billion,” he said.
Mr Aliyu disclosed that the report of the EICS exercise conducted in the middle of this year was ready and would also be released to the public through the media.
Mr Aliyu said the commission had just completed the tracking of 1,500 projects nationwide, valued at N610 billion, under CEPTI Phase 7.
“Upon completion of tracking field work last week, follow-up activities are ongoing and the report is being collated.
“However, the report of the Phase 6 exercise conducted about this same time last year is ready and will be released to the public today,” he added.

‘Not something I’d wish on anyone’ — Melinda Gates opens up on divorce

Melinda Gates, the ex-wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, has spoken about their divorce in her new book ‘The Next Day’.
Bill and Melinda got married in 1994 but announced their divorce in 2021 — after 27 years together.
In a recent interview on ABC’s Good Morning America, Melinda revealed that she chose to discuss her divorce openly to be true to herself and acknowledge others who have experienced similar situations.
She described the separation as “painful” but also a “transition that had some growth in it”.
The 60-year-old also emphasised that divorce is a challenging experience for any family and expressed her hope that her story might offer some insight.
“It was important because if I am going to be my most authentic self. People knew I had gone through it,” she said.
“And it is hard on any family, so I write from my perspective. But it’s not something I would wish on anybody — and unfortunately so many families go through it.
“It is a big transition. And for me, while it was painful for sure, I ended up learning some lessons and there was some growth in there, too.”
Bill and Melinda first met in 1987, when she became a product manager at Microsoft. They married in Hawaii in 1994 and founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to combating global poverty and disease — in 2000.
Following their divorce, Melinda resigned from the foundation in May 2024.
The former couple shares three children: son Rory, 25, and daughters Phoebe, 22, and Jennifer, 28.
In January, Bill described his divorce from Melinda as his “biggest regret in life”.

However, a month later, she began to feel unwell and went back to the hospital, where doctors discovered another child still in her womb.
She was immediately put into labor again and successfully delivered the second baby.
The post read: “There’s a Xhosa lady on TT who gave birth to a child in March, got stitched and went home. Well, a month later, she felt something was wrong with her, it turns out there was another child in her womb. So, she gave birth again. She now has twins that are a month apart.”
As the post circulated online, concerned users flooded the comment section to share their thoughts and reactions.

@Melo_Malebo: “Idk what’s more shocking, the fact that twins can have different fathers or this one. Also, wasn’t the other one big enough for nurses to see there could still be someone in there ?”
@Fifi_Kumalo: “So the ultrasound didn’t catch the other baby njani? I know they hide but so confused.”
@Ralph_Nzuza: “When my lil sister got operated they cut the baby on the cheek after the surgery they forgot those scalpels inside her.”
@StraightupGal: “Surely this incompetence is illegal. One can die giving birth, what more when they have stitched your baby up for a couple of more weeks? Thanks to God she is safe and able to tell the tale.”
@mgwatyu_: “Must have delivered at a clinic via NVD, Not booked so no scan or late booker. Cannot be a cesarean section. The stiching must have just been for tears.”
