The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has secured the conviction of a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Onamusi Onadeko, over an offence linked to his alleged conduct while serving as a legislative aide. The ICPC disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday by its Head of Media and Public Communications, J. Okor Odey. The defence consequently argued that Onadeko could not be prosecuted under provisions of the law dealing with abuse of office by public officers. The ICPC said the judgment affirmed that Personal Assistants, Special Assistants, Senior Special Assistants, Legislative Aides and Senior Legislative Aides, among others appointed to public office holders, qualify as public officers under the ICPC Act when they receive salaries, allowances or other emoluments from public funds.
