the preliminary report of the A.C.B.
(b) ln
disproportionate assets cases, the accused Officer need not be suspended
immediately following the registration of the case. But he may be transferred
to a far off non-local post to avoid likelihood of his tampering with the

under suspension at that stage, based on the recommendation of the ACB to that
effect.
