The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos in a landmark judgment has held that successive governments since the return of democracy in 1999 “breached the fundamental principles of transparency and accountability for failing to disclose details about the spending of recovered stolen public funds, including on a dedicated website.”  

The court then ordered the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to “ensure that his government, and the governments of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, and former President Goodluck Jonathan account fully for all recovered loot.”  

The judgment was delivered on Friday by Hon Justice M.B. Idris following a Freedom of Information suit no: FHC/IKJ/CS/248/2011brought by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP).  

The details ordered by the court to be disclosed include: information on the total amount of recovered stolen public assets by each government; the amount of recovered stolen public assets spent by each government as well as the objects of such spending and the projects on which such funds were spent.  

Justice Idris dismissed all the objections raised by the Federal Government and upheld SERAP’s arguments.

forget Wailing or Zombie-ing, this ur question got me cracked up uknow

Honestly, all these "people have started returning money" should stop for God's sake.

How much is it?

who returned it?

where is the money?

what will it be used for?

i laugh in spanish , in nigeria. Account on loot. "wetin concern agbero with overload".

This judgement would have been swiftly implemented had Obasanjo's and Yara Dua's governments not included in this ruling. I won't be surprised if he goes for just GEJ's administration. This judgement will surely expose Buhari 's hypocrisy, it is a tricky judgement.

kekekekekekeke

Its obvious that you see he is suspecting you.

The man approved Freedom of Information bill means you people shout insult him in everything. Why didn't you ask what is Yar adua looking that his retina is almost running out of the socket or why OBJ opened mouth like slowpoke?

Dats hw dey'll start den in a month time everything will die down
who is deceiving who?

Obj is in APC so he is a saint. Yaradua is dead and you can't bring him back to answer any query. GEJ is alive and is not in APC so to PMB he is the scapegoat!

GEJ always looking clueless as ever.

This isnt Possible, As long as OBJ is included.
Apc Lying Liars

Now let's see how the FG reacts to this ruling in the days to come. Every public office holder must be accountable for their actions & inactions...
