Besides issues bothering on Salami’s reinstatement, the
AGF, equally revealed, yesterday, that a “White Paper”,
chronicling all the factors behind the Boko Haram
insurgency in Northern parts of the country had been
gazetted by the Federal Government.
The AGF noted that despite ensuring that all the police
officers that were accused of complicity in the extra-
judicial murder of the leader of the Boko Haram Islamic
sect, Yusuf Mohammed, in 2009, are prosecuted, the
government equally paid N100million to his family “as part
of the reconciliation process.”
Besides, Adoke, said the Federal Government has
submitted the fuel subsidy probe report to the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for the prompt
prosecution of those indicted by the report, saying
“Nigerians should be assured that there will be no sacred
cows.”
Emphasizing need for the anti-graft agencies to conduct
thorough investigations before charging cases to court,
the AGF, said even if the government concedes to
establish a special court for the prosecution of corruption
cases, such courts would always dismiss graft cases
whenever the prosecuting agencies fail to generate
enough evidence against an accused person, stressing
that the case upon which a London Court convicted the
former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, was different
from the trial he hitherto faced in Nigeria.
