The Civil Society Committee Against Corruption in Nigeria (CSCACN) has withdrawn a petition they earlier submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) against the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adedeji.
Adedeji had been previously accused of holding two other public offices.
Disclosing the withdrawal of the petition at a press conference in Abuja, CSCACN said their actions were driven by a genuine concern for transparency and accountability in public office.
They regretted failing to verify the information they received thoroughly before making the serious allegations.
They noted that the previous petition they wrote to the CCB, accusing Adedeji of unfounded wrongdoing was based on inaccurate and misleading information they received.
