What happened
Retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and international jurist; served as ICPC Chairman until November 2010. Per Okpaga et al. (2012), declined reappointment when his first term expired, 'probably out of frustration' at the lack of government and National Assembly support to ease the challenges confronting both the ICPC and EFCC. Subsequent vacancy left ICPC without a substantive chairman. Tagged `contextual`: anti-corruption office-holder; no allegation against Ayoola is recorded in cited sources.
