Members of the Conference of Civil Society for Transparency and Accountability (COCTA) led the protest, demanding the immediate removal of Dr. Adedokun and a comprehensive probe into alleged corrupt practices within the BPP. The protesters also called for an investigation into more than 100 bank accounts reportedly linked to the alleged receipt of bribes in exchange for the issuance of Certificates of No Objection.
The allegations, contained in a petition earlier submitted to the EFCC by a legal practitioner, Musa Aliyu, Esq., accuse Dr. Adedokun and his Chief of Staff, Mr. Olanrewaju Obasa, of operating proxy and unofficial bank accounts, receiving foreign exchange and other financial inducements from contractors, and accepting vehicles and other gratifications connected to procurement approvals. COCTA stressed that these claims remain allegations and not findings of guilt.
