The Federal Government has agreed it would publish the names
of treasury looters as ordered by the Federal High court in Lagos today for
Nigerians to see.
Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation,
Mr. Abubakar Malami, disclosed this to State House correspondents on Wednesday
after the Federal Executive Council meeting.
According Malami, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal
Government totally agrees with the ruling of the court and hence, will carry
out the order as long as it does not amount to violation of the rules of the
court.
Recall that the Hon Justice Hadiza Rabiu Shagari-led Lagos
Federal High Court had, in a ruling, ordered the Federal Government to "immediately release to Nigerians information about the names of high ranking
public officials from whom public funds were recovered and the circumstances
under which funds were recovered, as well as the exact amount of funds
recovered from each public official."
