CCB CLEARANCE ENDS DUBAI PROPERTY CONTROVERSY

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, said throjgh his lawyer on Sunday that his recent clearance by the Code of Conduct Bureau has put paid to the controversy over his property in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate.
The army chief had been highly criticised when the news of the property said to be worth a whooping sum of about $1.5m hit the public space earlier in the year.
But Buratai was among 15 former and serving public officers whom the CCB said it had verified the assets declared by them and issued to them the Certificate of Conference Verification/Field Verification.
His lawyer, Ugochukwu Osuagwu, said in Abuja that it was the second time the CCB would clear the Chief of Army Staff.
Osuagwu, said Buratai had set a good example by being the first COAS to order all officers of the Nigerian Army to declare their assets.
