President Buhari Sacks Nigeria's Spy Chief

-
President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the head of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayo Oke over allegations of corruption.
In a statement, presidential spokesman Femi Adesina said the president had acted on the recommendation of a government panel led by his deputy Yemi Osinbajo.
Mr Adesina said: “President Buhari also approved the setting up of a three-member panel to, among other things, look into the operational, technical and administrative structure of the [NIA] and make appropriate recommendations.”
However, the statement did not touch on what would happen regarding the allegations of corruption levied against the former NIA.
Mr Oke was suspended in April over the discovery of large amounts of foreign and local currencies in a residential apartment in Lagos' affluent Ikoyi neighbourhood, which was traced to his agency.
