President Bola Tinubu has been called upon to order the immediate handing over of all the indicted persons and entities to the Economic and financial crimes commission (EFCC) and other anti-graft agencies for immediate trial.
A coalition of 259 anti-corruption, civil society and human rights groups, Coalition for Transparency and Economic Reforms (COTER) behind the call admonished President Tinubu to initiate the urgent recovery of the country’s stolen funds and properties being held by indicted persons.
COTER warned the indicted persons to stop playing on the collective intelligence of Nigerians with their puerile defence of their looting of the nation’s commonwealth, having betrayed the confidence Nigerians reposed in them while they occupied public offices.
COTER’s President, Dr Peter Chima Chukwu and General Secretary, Mallam Auta Ibrahim Koko, stated that the defence of the heists by various indicted persons should be completely disregarded.
