Continuing failure to prosecute these cases<br \/>\nmay create the perception of a deliberate effort to protect those<br \/>\nconsidered to be very influential and powerful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the organization: &#8220;The fact that these cases have been<br \/>\npending for several years suggests that your government has not carried<br \/>\nout its public, constitutional and international obligations, including<br \/>\nthe obligations to show that no one is above the law as far as the fight<br \/>\nagainst corruption is concerned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The organization said: &#8220;Public interest demands that high-profile<br \/>\ncorruption cases are concluded within a reasonable time so that those<br \/>\nguilty are punished and the innocent are set free. The rule of law and<br \/>\nthe preservation of democracy also require that the authorities duly<br \/>\nproceed in accordance with the law against every high-profile person<br \/>\nsuspected of grand corruption, irrespective of where he\/she is placed in<br \/>\nthe political hierarchy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter, copied to Mr Malami, read in part: &#8220;SERAP is seriously<br \/>\nconcerned about the apparent inertia by the authorities to diligently<br \/>\nand expeditiously prosecute high-profile corruption cases. While many of<br \/>\nthese cases have been dragging before your assumption of office in May<br \/>\n2015, several of the cases have not satisfactorily progressed, contrary<br \/>\nto Nigerians&#8217; expectations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Speedily, diligently, effectively and fairly prosecuting high-profile<br \/>\ncorruption cases would demonstrate your government&#8217;s commitment to<br \/>\nenhance probity in public life and willingness to enforce accountability<br \/>\nin public life. The basic postulate of the concept of equality: &#8216;Be you<br \/>\never so high, the law is above you&#8217;, should be your government&#8217;s<br \/>\napproach to high profile corruption cases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our requests are brought in the public interest, and in keeping with<br \/>\nthe requirements of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended]<br \/>\nparticularly section 15[5], and Nigeria&#8217;s international obligations,<br \/>\nincluding under the UN Convention against Corruption and the African<br \/>\nUnion Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption, as well as the<br \/>\nrule of law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We hope that the aspects highlighted will help guide your actions in<br \/>\nacting to ensure the diligent, expeditious and effective prosecution of<br \/>\nlongstanding high-profile corruption cases, including the 103 cases and<br \/>\nthe allegedly missing 15 case files of high-profile corruption<br \/>\nsuspects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would be grateful if your government begins to implement the<br \/>\nrecommended action and measures within 14 days of the receipt and\/or<br \/>\npublication of this letter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we have not heard from you by then as to the steps being taken in<br \/>\nthis direction, the Registered Trustees of SERAP shall take all<br \/>\nappropriate legal actions to compel your government to pursue<br \/>\nprosecution of these longstanding high-profile corruption cases to their<br \/>\nlogical conclusion, and to regularly report to Nigerians on the progress<br \/>\nof prosecution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People get frustrated in the system if the process of justice is not<br \/>\nallowed to take its normal course, more so, when apparently deliberate<br \/>\nattempts are made to subvert and delay the process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a nexus between corruption at high places in public life and<br \/>\nthreats to the integrity, welfare, security and economy of the country,<br \/>\nas well as the rule of law. There is therefore a clear need for an<br \/>\nexpeditious, diligent and effective prosecution of these cases, which<br \/>\nhave already been delayed for several years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Expeditious prosecution of those suspected of grand corruption<br \/>\nirrespective of the position and status of that person is imperative to<br \/>\nretain public confidence in the ability and willingness of authorities<br \/>\nto prevent and combat corruption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to our information, details of about 103 high-profile<br \/>\ncorruption cases being handled by the Economic and Financial Crimes<br \/>\nCommission [EFCC] were reportedly made available in 2017 to the Office<br \/>\nof the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice upon<br \/>\nrequest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Further, the case files of 15 high-profile corruption suspects are<br \/>\nallegedly missing. The missing files are among the 23 cases reportedly<br \/>\nsent by the now defunct Special Presidential Investigation Panel on the<br \/>\nRecovery of Public Property, [SPIP] in 2019 to Mr Malami, and include<br \/>\nsome charges of fraud involving some former governors and senators, as<br \/>\nwell as non-declaration of assets and possession of foreign accounts<br \/>\ncases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SERAP therefore urged President Buhari to instruct Mr Malami to:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Explain why after several years these high-profile corruption<br \/>\ncases have not been expeditiously, diligently, effectively and<br \/>\nsatisfactorily prosecuted to logical conclusion;<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Take immediate and concrete steps to prosecute the cases in close<br \/>\ncooperation and collaboration with appropriate anti-corruption agencies;<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Publish details of the whereabouts of the allegedly missing 15<br \/>\ncase files of high-profile individuals suspected of corruption,<br \/>\nincluding the status of prosecution of the cases, as well as those of<br \/>\nthe 103 cases reportedly sent to Mr Malami;<br \/>\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Invite civil society groups and international community to monitor<br \/>\nthe prosecution of high-profile corruption cases, and to periodically<br \/>\nreport to Nigerians the status of their prosecution<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By Section 1 (1) of the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act 2011, and<br \/>\narticle 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples&#8217; Rights, SERAP is<br \/>\nentitled as of right to request for or gain access to information,<br \/>\nincluding information on the details of the whereabouts of allegedly<br \/>\nmissing 15 case files of high-profile individuals suspected of grand<br \/>\ncorruption, and the status of prosecution of the cases, as well as those<br \/>\nof the 103 cases reportedly sent to Mr Malami.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/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>Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sent an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari requesting him to &#8220;instruct Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of&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":49993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75945","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 -
