A Federal High Court sitting in Asaba, Delta State , has upheld the powers of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to investigate and prosecute officials of Delta State Government who allegedly engage in corrupt acts.
However, ICPC argued that sections 6 and 28 of the ICPC Act 2000 empowered the Commission to exercise its enforcement function on 'any person' including state government officials. The Commission, represented by the Director of Legal Services Department, Mr Henry Emore, stressed that the ICPC Act 2000 does not discriminate between the State Government and the Federal Government in the fight against corruption.
