 The Bernard State Government has asked two anti-graft agencies to investigate the Ministry of Special Duties and inter-governmental affairs, Senator George Akume, over an alleged 4.6 billion Naira fraud. The state is accusing Senator Akume of being corrupt when he was the governor of the state. The government claims he misappropriated public funds, made approvals of overlimits and sold shares of the Benway Investment and Property Company without following due process. The call for investigation is contained in documents sent to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, ESCC, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, and the Inspector General of Police.
