Ajibola News

Osun

An Osun State lawmaker, Kanmi Ajibola has insisted that the promulgation of a law which will make death a penalty for public fund looters is the only way Nigeria can survive its trials. Ajibola has also in his quest dragged the National and all the 36 states Houses of Assembly to court.

Ajibola , a one-time Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Ilesa branch approached the court over the failures of both the Senate President and the House of Representatives Speaker to respond to his letter 30 days after receiving it. The lawmaker representing Oriade Constituency of Osun State had in the said letter asked both the Senate and the House of Representatives to initiate a bill that would make death a punishment for treasury looters.

He also cited issues relating to the late General Sani Abacha and the former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori who was convicted and jailed in the United Kingdom for his involvement in the looting of public funds. Ajibola stated that corrupt public officials had leverage on plea bargaining to successfully steal and misappropriate public funds while the Attorney General's powers to discontinue any corrupt cases against looters is a deadly blow to the nation’s progress.
