Former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Senator Kanu Agabi, has said that Nigerians who have stolen monies abroad should repatriate them to help the country’s economy.

Agabi believes some political leaders in the country have cash starched at different locations in foreign lands.
The former AGF said this on the Commission’s podcast, Ethicspod, insisting that it no longer matters whether the money was obtained legitimately or otherwise.

He pointed out that fear of retribution has discouraged many of such individuals from returning these funds. If these funds are invested in critical sectors like education, power, or infrastructure, Nigeria would be on the path to self-reliance and gradually eliminating corruption,” Agabi said.

The former minister maintained that corruption cannot be eradicated overnight and would require time. Agabi pointed out that leadership issues have been a major hindrance to the fight against corruption in Nigeria.

Waiting for the owners to repatriate the money is like waiting for the blinking of a crab

NairalandForumo:
And what is Tinubu doing about it, is he not the president ?

You want banks to go against banking ethics without the legal order from the leader of a country to repatriate the funds, are you saying Tinubu doesn't know what to do or he doesn't want to do the right thing?

helinues:
Have you written officially to the presidency about the stached funds with accurate evidence for tracing?

NairalandForumo:
Is it my duty to do so, let him appoint me CBN governor then it might just become my duty, are you saying Cardoso is clueless on doing his job to help Tinubu perform as president?

And what is Tinubu doing about it, is he not the president ?

helinues:
How then do you expect the presidency to act on something they are not aware of

NairalandForumo:
That is like saying how does Tinubu know that Nigeria loses almost 1 million barrels everyday to crude oil theft, the question is how did the know?

The same way they know about crude oil theft is the same way they should have information of monies been stolen from Nigeria and smuggled abroad except they are part of it or you want to tell me they clueless on doing their jobs?

helinues:
Everything is official in government, not only government also in corporate.

Go through official means

NairalandForumo:
And why is Tinubu not using the official means to tackles the situation of stolen money and smuggling it abroad?
