BREAKING: We've asked President Buhari to instruct @MalamiSan to take steps to expeditiously, diligently & fairly prosecute high-profile corruption cases; explain the whereabouts of allegedly missing case files & the status of prosecution of all cases being handled by his office.
The high-profile corruption cases include 103 cases reportedly sent by the EFCC in 2017, and the 15 allegedly missing case files sent by the now defunct Special Presidential Investigation Panel on the Recovery of Public Property, [SPIP] in 2019 to Mr Malami.
The letter sent yesterday, read: “The authorities’ failure to diligently and expeditiously prosecute high profile corruption cases amounts to a fundamental breach of constitutional and international obligations.
Continuing failure to prosecute these cases may create the perception of a deliberate effort to protect those considered to be very influential and powerful.
While many of these cases have been dragging before your assumption of office in May 2015, several of the cases have not satisfactorily progressed, contrary to Nigerians’ expectations.
Our requests are brought in the public interest & in keeping with the requirements of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended], & Nigeria’s international obligations, including the UN Convention against Corruption & African Union Convention on Preventing & Combating Corruption
