Sa’ad Alanamu, the second of two rejected nominees to the board of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), has been charged to court for corruption.

Court papers seen by the ICIR show that Eze Ijezie Sunny, a lawyer, filed an eight-count charge against Alanamu on behalf of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).

Salman Sulaiman and Namylas Nigeria Ltd were named as defendants in the suit.

Alanamu and Maimuna Aliyu made the list of 14 ICPC board appointees announced by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in August, but it was later alleged that both were tainted and on the verge of being charged to court for their alleged involvement in various corrupt acts.

The ICIR had exclusively reported at the time that Alanamu was being investigated on corruption charges allegedly committed while he headed several institutions in Kwara State, while Aliyu had a longstanding case of abuse of office, misappropriation and diversion of public funds against her.

While Aliyu was charged to court on August 24, Alanamu’s case was filed exactly a week later.

Alanamu is being accused of using his position as Chairman of Governing Council and Chairman of Tenders Board of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, to collect a ₦5m bribe from Sulaiman and Namylas Nigeria Ltd as condition for awarding a contract to the company.
