According to the Petitioner, the said amount paid to the hospital was for the cost of implant of eight screws and two rods in his spinal cord, consumables and drugs.

He charged the operatives of the Commission to keep the good work they exhibited in not collecting any bribery or tip before or after they recovered the money for him.

“This selfless effort of the Commission in recovering this money for me has completely deleted the bad impressions that some of us had on the enforcement agencies, that a common citizen cannot get justice because he has no money to bribe .” The patient emphasized.

Responding to this commendation, the Chairman of the Commission, Mr Ekpo Nta stated that “Our effort in anti-corruption as it affects all Nigerians, including the masses, will be pursued with all vigour and concern”.
