The ICPC, established by the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000, is mandated to investigate and prosecute corruption-related cases and promote public awareness against graft. It is one of Nigeria’s principal anti-corruption bodies, working alongside the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Official records show the Commission receives hundreds of petitions annually, with dozens of prosecutions and a number of convictions.
In one year, it reviewed 851 petitions, filed 72 cases in court and secured 16 convictions. (The Guardian)
