This development was disclosed today in a statement by<br \/>\nSERAP executive director Adetokunbo Mumuni.<\/p>\n<p>Mumuni said, \u201cWe had a very productive meeting with Mr Malami, discussing<br \/>\namong other critical issues the need for the government to obey the<br \/>\njudgment delivered in July by Hon Justice Hadiza\u00a0Rabiu Shagari following a<br \/>\nFreedom of Information suit number:\u00a0\u00a0FHC\/CS\/964\/2016 brought by SERAP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Mumuni, \u201cMr Malami informed us that President Buhari has<br \/>\ndirected the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Finance, Economic and<br \/>\nFinancial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices and<br \/>\nOther Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and other relevant agencies<br \/>\ninvolved in the recovery of looted funds to promptly put the documents<br \/>\ntogether with a view to fully and promptly enforcing the judgment by<br \/>\nJustice Shagari.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate the opportunity to meet with the Attorney General of the<br \/>\nFederation and look forward to working with him as the government strives<br \/>\nto enforce this very important judgment. We hope that the implementation<br \/>\nof the judgment will now happen sooner rather than later. We believe that<br \/>\neffectively implementing the judgment will be a victory for the rule of<br \/>\nlaw, show the way forward in the fight against corruption and impunity of<br \/>\nperpetrators in the country, as well as demonstrate Buhari\u2019s oft-repeated<br \/>\ncommitment to tackling the problem of grand corruption,\u201d Mumuni added.<br \/>\nIt would be recalled that the SERAP suit followed disclosure last year by<br \/>\nthe Federal Government of funds recovered from some high-ranking public<br \/>\nofficials and private individuals.<\/p>\n<p>In her judgment delivered on 5th July 2017 Justice Shagari agreed with<br \/>\nSERAP that \u201cthe Federal Government has legally binding obligations to tell<br \/>\nNigerians the names of all suspected looters of the public treasury past<br \/>\nand present.\u201d Joined as Defendants in the suit are the Minister of<br \/>\nInformation Alhaji Lai\u00a0Muhammed\u00a0and the Federal Ministry of Information<br \/>\nand Culture.<\/p>\n<p>The same day that the judgment was delivered Mr Malami told reporters in<br \/>\nAbuja that government was in agreement with the ruling and would carry out<br \/>\nthe order as long as it does not amount to sub judice.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Shagari also granted the following reliefs:<\/p>\n<p>A DECLARATION\u00a0that by virtue of the provisions of Section 4 (a) of the<br \/>\nFreedom of Information Act 2011, the Defendants are under a binding legal<br \/>\nobligation to provide the Plaintiff with up to date information relating<br \/>\nto the following:<\/p>\n<p>To widely disseminate including on a dedicated website information<br \/>\nabout\u00a0the names of high ranking public officials from whom public funds<br \/>\nwere recovered since May 2015<br \/>\nThe circumstances under which stolen public funds were returned<\/p>\n<p>It would be recalled that the Ministry of Information last year published<br \/>\ndetails of the\u00a0recoveries, which showed that the Nigerian government<br \/>\nsuccessfully retrieved\u00a0total cash amount\u00a0N78,325,354,631.82,<br \/>\n$185,119,584.61, \u00a33,508,355.46 and \u20ac11, 250 between May 29, 2015 and May<br \/>\n25, 2016. Also released were recoveries under interim forfeiture, which<br \/>\nwere a combination of cash and assets, during the same period:<br \/>\nN126,563,481,095.43, $9,090,243,920.15, \u00a32,484,447.55 and \u20ac303,399.17.<br \/>\nAnticipated repatriation from foreign countries totalled: $321,316,726.1,<br \/>\n\u00a36,900,000 and \u20ac11,826.11. The ministry also announced that 239 non-cash<br \/>\nrecoveries were made during the one-year period. The non-cash recoveries<br \/>\nare \u2013 farmlands, plots of land, uncompleted buildings, completed<br \/>\nbuildings, vehicles and maritime vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, SERAP issued an FOI request and gave the Minister of<br \/>\nInformation, Alhaji Lai Muhammed 14 days to disclose the names of all<br \/>\nsuspected looters.<\/p>\n<p>The request reads in part: \u201cWhile we believe that suspects generally are<br \/>\nentitled to be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of<br \/>\ncompetent jurisdiction, SERAP opposes blanket non-disclosure of names of<br \/>\nhigh-ranking public officials from whom some of the funds were recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSERAP insists that the public interest to know is greater than any other<br \/>\nlegitimate interest that the government might wish to protect. The<br \/>\nNigerian government has an obligation to balance whether the risk of harm<br \/>\nto the legitimate aim (that is secrecy of ongoing corruption investigation<br \/>\nand presumption of innocence) from disclosure of the names of public<br \/>\nofficials is greater than the public interest in accessing the<br \/>\ninformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSERAP believes that the recoveries, specifically from high-ranking public<br \/>\nofficials (and not private individuals), are matters of public interest.<br \/>\nPublishing the names of those public officials will provide insights<br \/>\nrelevant to the public debate on the ongoing efforts to prevent and combat<br \/>\na culture of grand corruption in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gravity of the crime of grand corruption, the devastating effects on<br \/>\nthe socially and economically vulnerable sectors of the population, and<br \/>\nthe fact that recovery of huge funds from high-ranking public officials<br \/>\nentrusted with the public treasury raise a\u00a0prima-facie\u00a0case and therefore<br \/>\namount to exceptional circumstances that justify naming those high-ranking<br \/>\nofficials in the public interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublishing the names of public officials involved could go a long way in<br \/>\npreventing senior public officials from turning the public treasury into a<br \/>\nprivate cashbox. The public interest in publishing the names of the<br \/>\nhigh-ranking government officials from whom funds were received outweighs<br \/>\nany considerations to withhold the information, as there would be no<br \/>\nprejudice against those whose names are published as long as the<br \/>\ninformation is appropriately framed and truthful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the government in some limited cases can legitimately place<br \/>\nrestrictions on the public\u2019s right to access certain information, attempts<br \/>\nof the Nigerian authorities to justify the total closure of information<br \/>\nrelated to the names of public officials from whom funds were recovered on<br \/>\nthe basis of \u201congoing criminal investigation\u201d and \u201cpresumption of<br \/>\ninnocence goes far beyond the limitations allowed under international law,<br \/>\nand would promote secret recoveries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe information being requested is not related to detailed investigatory<br \/>\nactivities of anticorruption agencies regarding the recoveries so far<br \/>\nmade. Similarly, the mere fact that the information being requested is<br \/>\nrelated to ongoing investigation does not necessarily mean that the<br \/>\ninformation could not be disclosed. In addition, governmental agency has<br \/>\nthe obligation to prove that the disclosure of the names of public<br \/>\nofficials would disrupt, impede, or otherwise harm the ongoing or pending<br \/>\ninvestigations or presumption of innocence.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ajx\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gA gt acV\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the 2019 General elections, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abukabar Malami SAN has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari has directed all relevant agencies&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48290,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
