A group, Progressive Lawyers Forum, has offered
free legal services to all government agencies
responsible for fighting corruption under the
incoming Buhari administration.
Speaking Thursday at a media briefing, the group’s
National Coordinator, Silas Onu, said the pro-bono
service will be for government agencies saddled with
the responsibility of fighting corruption against
public officials, past and present.
“To demonstrate our commitment to support the
fight against corruption, we have resolved to offer
pro-bono legal services to all government agencies,”
he said.
He said the agencies concerned can take advantage
of the offer to cut down the high cost of prosecuting
corrupt persons.
“There are too many thieves that need to be made an
example for prospective ones to learn from,
therefore the cases on corruption may overwhelm
the internal lawyers of these agencies,” Mr. Onu said.
Mr. Onu said the group agreed with the president-
elect, Muhammadu Buhari, on the need to halt
corruption.
The group called for the removal of constitutional
immunity presently protecting sitting governors and
presidents from facing corruption charges.
The group, which is also part of the All Progressives
Congress’ legal team, said the incoming National
Assembly and State Houses of Assembly should
seriously consider the urgent need to remove the
immunity clause from the constitution.
“This has allowed a window to disregard our laws
and encourage impunity,” Mr. Onu said.
He asked the president-elect, Mr. Buhari, to be
circumspect in appointing the heads of Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent
Corrupt Practices and related offences Commission.
He urged the president to go for fearless individuals
with clean records. www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/181733-group-offers-buharis-govt-free-legal-service-in-prosecuting-corrupt-officials.html
