The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Tuesday, appeared before the committee investigating the status of recovered loots.He was invited to appear before the committee alongside others.
Upon his appearance on Tuesday, Mr Malami blamed the non-passage of the crimes bill, an executive bill, which was forwarded to the National Assembly in 2017, for the lack of coordination of the recovered loots. “When we came in, we realised that there was no legislative framework on recovered loots. We resolved to send a bill to the National Assembly. I regret to state that the legislative framework has not been passed. If the National Assembly had passed the bill, we will not be in this position,” Mr Malami said.The Office of the AGF was indicted by the lawmakers for receiving funds from the recovered loots, instead of the Consolidated Revenue Funds.
Adejoro Adeogun, the chairman of the committee, accused Mr Malami of being complicit in the funding of the budget of his office with money from the recovered loots instead of the consolidated revenue. Mr Adeogun said, “The law is that every revenue should be transferred to the Consolidated Revenue Account. Has the office of the attorney general ever received any fund from the recovered loots account?
This malami is noting but a rogue and as such unfit for the office he occupice and deserved to removed and sent to prison
