See How Much EFCC Recovered From Looters In 12 Years According To Attorney-General

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, on Tuesday called for collaboration between all relevant agencies of the Federal Government for the war against corruption and other related crimes to succeed.

Justice Mohammed spoke at a workshop on ‘combating financial fraud, cyber and cross-border crimes’ in Abuja on Tuesday.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, who also spoke at the event, said he was currently working with the judiciary to ensure the success of government’s efforts to end impunity in the land.

Malami also said, “more than $2tn has been confiscated and recovered’ in the last 12 years by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.” Speaking, the CJN said the prompt disposal of criminal cases could only be achieved where “stakeholders in the justice sector work in tandem towards a common objective as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.”

The CJN’s speech came on the heel of a comment credited to President Muhammadu Buhari who was quoted to have in faraway Ethiopia said that the judiciary was his only “headache” in his fight against corruption.

Justice Mohammed said any efforts to end impunity in the country must first consider and prioritise reforms of the nation’s laws. He said reform efforts must begin with the establishment of the Administrative of justice Commission as provided for in the Administration of Justice Commission Act, 1991.

He added, “The justice sector must be better coordinated and develop synergistic avenues for the exchange of information and best practices. It is time to leave the rhetoric behind and take visible steps forward in this fight against transnational crimes.

“I believe that if we work in harmony and in sincerity of purpose towards concrete outcomes, then, the efforts that we make will doubtless create a butterfly effect of positive change that is so sorely required in the justice sector.

“Achieving success in fighting fraud, cybercrime and other cross-border crimes depends on all stakeholders working together towards developing intelligent initiatives, which will result in tangible and pragmatic solutions to ending and ridding ourselves of these emerging crimes.”

Malami lamented the negative impact of corruption, fraud, cyber and other cross-border crimes on the nation’s growth efforts.

He assured Nigerians that the reforms efforts being championed by the Justice Ministry under his watch, were intended to lead to an improved anti-corruption and criminal justice system for the country.

Malami said, “I am already working closely with the judicial leadership. In the past few weeks, my team and I have held several interactions with the Chief Justice of Nigeria and other judicial leaders.

While the discussions are still ongoing on the best way the Federal Ministry of Justice can support the work of the Judiciary, we are hopeful that we will work in a manner that will reduce delay of complex cases, and improve justice delivery for ordinary Nigerians without compromising the rights to fair hearing.

“The essence is to establish a ‘collaborative buy-in’ between the Executive and the Judiciary in consensus building in the fight against corruption and organised crimes.” The British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Paul Arkwright, expressed confidence in President Buhari’s commitment to curbing corruption and impunity in the country.

“Why I Wear Red Beret And Khaki” – Sports Minister Dalung Reveals

Me personally have been waiting for this report! Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has explained why he always wears Khaki and red beret to attend public events. He shared his explanation on his Facebook wall.

“So many people have asked this same question ” what is behind your mode of outfits and what is the motivating principle?” The ‘Red Beret’ is my signature for a struggle of the common people. The ‘Khaki’ is just nothing but a very modest way of appreciating the magnitude of problems the ‘common people’ face in this country.

I don’t fancy putting on attires outside that because it does not at all, portray our understanding of the situation in which we operate. There are people in this country who find it difficult to eat one meal a day and yet, we intimidate and harass them with gorgeously expensive dresses. Some of our apparels can even feed a whole community! I find it difficult to reconcile such an irony. (Sighs) So, I have decided to just live happily and modestly because that is how I feel happy each time I am in my simple wears. As for the ‘Red Beret’, it is the signature of those who struggle against injustice, violence and oppression of the poor. In fact, the red colour, historically represents the blood of the poor people who have been struggling for a better society.

Each time we look at the red beret, we remember that some people have sacrificed their lives in struggling to live better in a world which was created by God and which others have decided to hijack and live at their own advantage against the voiceless majority. So…the summary of who I am is that I am a Comrade walking the talk “he stated

Priest Mbaka Reveals What Buhari Told Him During Aso Rock Visit

Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbakahas come out to clear the air on his visit to President Buhari at the Presidential Villa (Aso Rock), in Abuja. There were allegations that he collected money from Mr. President during his visit.

Vanguard reports that Mbaka said “When eventually I met Buhari when I went for prayers at Aso Rock, what I demanded from him was good governance for Nigeria. I didn’t ask him to give me one kobo. One kobo of Buhari has never entered my hand.” He added that Buhari thanked him saying “Thank you very much for what you have done and said. “It brought you out to the whole country as a man of courage. It was honest and well delivered.

“It has gone into the records as one of the best concerns expressed from the pulpit, not because it favoured me and my party, the All Progressives Congress, but because it was good for the country.”

The controversial priest was recently transferred by the Enugu Catholic Diocese to a new parish. The move has angered many, even the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Enugu condemned the transfer.
