Nigeria's vice president Yemi Osinbajo has stated that the federal government hasn't gone ahead with the prosecution of some treasury looters because of the "strategic advice" it got from some independent entities.
“The administration has relied a lot on strategic advice, looking at the fight against corruption from a broad perspective, and basically relying on independent advice in order to move forward in fighting corruption," he said at an anti-corruption day event. He was represented by his Special Adviser on Rule of Law, Mr. Akingbolahan Adeniran.
“It is focused a lot on prevention, and this is one aspect that a lot of people do not talk about so much. Then enforcement, this is the key aspect of the fight against corruption; there has to be accountability for those who basically violate the law.
“Then asset recovery, which is a key element of the fight against corruption. As regards assets recovery, where there has been no conviction, it is because of the strategic advice that we were given.”
