Sources at the commission told Vanguard that the teams departed Abuja Monday morning to the various states to carry out their investigations.

According to the source, the commission is committed to ensuring that all petitions are investigated to the ironical conclusion and those indicted or found to have compromised would be brought to book.

“We will ensure that we thoroughly investigate all allegations brought before us so that no body would be left in doubt about our commitment to fighting corruption. The chairman has dispatched a team to the affected states and they are expected to report back in the next two weeks. No body would be spared if found culpable” the source said.

He told Vanguard: “I don’t have any comment. I don’t want to comment on an ongoing investigations” before cutting off the line.
