Human Rights lawyer and activist, Festus Keyamo, has lauded the whistleblowing policy of the Federal Government as an effective tool in tackling corruption.

Keyamo told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos, that the various revelations about money stashed in some places were the positive effect of the whistle blowing and that Nigerian will witness more shocking cases.

“People are now ready to blow whistle, the populace now have confidence in assisting the government to fight corruption through whistleblowing.

“The war against corruption which seemed to be lost is now turning back to a win situation and revival for the country. The only warning is that we are not yet there but we have taken a huge step forward.
“Whistleblowing is very good and everybody is now a watchdog. I commend the policy, a situation whereby everybody can raise alarm and also alert the Economic Financial and Crime Commission (EFCC).

“We are gradually winning but we are not there yet as there are many things to be done in this regard,’’ he said.

Keyamo said that though whistleblowing had recorded some success stories, there must be deligent investigation before trial in court to forestall loss of corruption cases.

“The second part of the anti-corruption fight is that we must strengthen the arm of prosecution if we don’t want corruption cases as an exercise in futility.
“The investigative part of the alleged crime must be diligent so that by the time people are taken to court, the case is solid enough and it will be easy for the prosecution to do the job.

“In most cases, by the time the case gets to the prosecutor, the case is hazardly done. But on the other way round, investigation should have been properly carried out and prosecutor will do his part.
“Investigation must be thorough before it gets to the prosecutors, it is important that investigations are well sorted out so that the prosecution becomes easy,’’ he said.

First to comment..... Coming back to say what I understand

still reading

abeg let me go and buy my whistle




since no job

I have not seen any trace of winning here except the looted money been recovered is channel into something productive that will be beneficial to the masses, not the rich alone.

Instead of going to dig up Graves and blowing whistles and making cool money some animals keeps screaming APC owns loots somewhere, whoever owns it the truth will reveal itself and that's it, speculation is what spoils investigations


Initially all they screamed was "where's the video evidence" EFCC satisfied them with 30 minutes long footage of 3 different raids now they are looking for another excuse

All the baba réré baba ke that you keep saluting have skeletons monies in their water tanks and burial grounds, go find it and call on EFCC, you just might buy that Benz you've always wanted
