STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION,SAYS ICPC

  Wonders shall never end. The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission[ICPC] Chairman, Mr Ekpo Nta told a delegation from the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria[COREN] who visited the Commission in Abuja that,contrary to popular opinion, stealing is not corruption. Nta noted that most Nigerians,including the educated, did not quite understand what constituted corruption,and stressed that it is wrong to classify theft as such.
    The commission's boss likened the penchant for referring to theft as corruption to ordinary Nigerian who often called a roadside mechanic as an engineer.
