The panel originally comprised five members with Mr Okoi Obono-Obla as the Chairman when it was constituted in August 2017. Malami, as the AGF, appointed Umar Aliyu (SAN), now deceased, who prosecuted Onnoghen at the CCT on behalf of the CBB and the Federal Government. No reason was given for the appointment of Aghanya by Malami as the sole administrator of the SPIP. With the dissolution of the panel, which within the two years of being constituted drew various controversies concerning the legality of its existence and mode of operations, Buhari directed its cases be taken over by the AGF office. It was further learnt that the cases have been withdrawn by the AGF office.
