Ndubusi Nwabudike, a Liberian citizen of Nigerian descent, has offered his resignation as chairman of the country’s anti-corruption commission.
This development is coming in the wake of allegations that he obtained his Liberian citizenship illegally, FrontPage Africa reports.
George Weah, Liberia president, appointed Nwabudike as chairman of Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) in October 2019.
