The Attorney General of the Federation and Nigeria's Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami, has barred the Nigeria Police from prosecuting criminal cases as part of reforms to strengthen the anti graft war, Vanguard reports.
The AGF, in a statement signed by his media aide, Salihu Isah, said his Ministry had so far taken over about 8000 case files from Police for prosecution.
“Multiplicity of counter judgment and orders by the court of coordinate jurisdiction on the same matter does not encourage the desired confidence building in the judicial process," he said.
He also noted that imprisonment of looters of the national treasury may not serve as enough deterrent. As a result, the government has resolve to explore the option of ensuring that they are compelled to make restitution “through the dis-gorgement of the proceeds of crime within the ambits of law” he said.
