The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and the Code of Conduct Bureau are heading for a showdown after the minister Tuesday shunned an invitation by the CCB over an ongoing investigation bordering on alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for public officers. The spokesperson of the CCB, Veronica Kato confirmed the development in a telephone interview on Tuesday, while noting that the minister’s interrogation would be rescheduled for a later date following his memo to the bureau citing national assignment. “Yes, the minister’s interrogation has been rescheduled. He wrote, asking that it be rescheduled because he has a national assignment, so it has been rescheduled for a later date,” Kato said.

The CCB had invited the embattled minister over the involvement of his company in a ₦438 million contract with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. The company, New Planet Projects, allegedly belonging to the minister, benefitted from a contract from the ministry.
