ICPC Interrogates APC's Toyin Okoro Over Fraud Claims

Toyin Okoro, the APC candidate for Ekiti, was questioned by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) regarding allegations of fraud. Before securing the APC ticket, Okoro served as a Senior Legislative Aide to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas (Rep, Zaria).

He arrived at the ICPC headquarters on September 17, 2026, following a formal invitation dated September 7, 2026. The ICPC is investigating Okoro for alleged violations of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000, including operating as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of a private company while serving as a public servant.

He is accused of using his position to obtain public contracts from various agencies, including the Nigeria Port Authority and SMEDAN. Reports suggest he falsified resignation letters and lied on oath in submissions to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Okoro was released on bail after being interrogated for over two hours.
