Falana: Public Officers Criminally Diverted $4bn Recovered from Abacha Loot

Asks state govts not to allow EFCC, ICPC handle their casesA human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana has alleged that some unscrupulous public officers had criminally diverted over $4 billion recovered from the late head of state, General Sani Abacha between 1999 and now.

At the session, Falana expressed concern that the administration of US President Donald Trump, which warehoused part of the Abacha loot, had arrogantly set conditions for the repatriation $308 million that the federal government negotiated with the US and Jersey Island in the United Kingdom. He said: “In fact, the order of the federal high court secured by SERAP for the publication of all looted wealth since 1999 has been treated with disdain by the Buhari administration.

The rights activities, therefore, urged president Buhari upon to constitute the National Council on Public Procurement in line with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act to avoid the loss of more corruption cases. He, thus, noted that the proposed amendment should ensure that the majority of the board members of the agencies are nominees of accredited representatives of credible civil society bodies.

Specifically, the rights activist challenged the National Assembly to stop passing the budget of any ministry, department and agency indicted by the Office of the Auditor-General until the money diverted is refunded.
