The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, Dr Musa Aliyu, SAN, has said that the commission would not condone corrupt practices under his watch.

Mr Aliyu made the pledge during a courtesy visit by a delegation from the Civil Society Legislative Centre, CISLAC, at the ICPC headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
