Right from the time of colonial administration in Nigeria, corruption and corrupt practices have been largely identified as impediment in the dealings of government. What is however, clear is that the magnitude of the offence of corruption was comparatively minimal and easily controlled. It is well acknowledged that corruption is morally degenerative, base, depraved, tainted, spoiled and vitiated behavior perpetrated for purposes of unjust enrichment. Corruption erodes the moral fabric of society and more critically, it violates the social and economic rights of the poor and the vulnerable.
