President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday met behind closed doors with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice , Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN )

The meeting, which lasted about an hour, took place inside the President’s office shortly after Buhari and some government officials had observed the Jumat prayers in a mosque located inside the Presidential Villa , Abuja.

Although the agenda of the meeting was not made public , it was suspected to have centred on the probe the AGF was directed to carry out on top government officials accused of corruption.

The PUNCH had on Friday reported exclusively that the minister would meet Buhari and that the probe might form part of the discussion at the meeting. After the meeting, Malami, who usually uses the Service Chiefs’ Gate to access the President’s office, walked through the corridor in front of the Press Gallery.

It was not clear whether he was headed for the Vice- President’s office or the office of the Chief of Staff to the President. Buhari, had on December 18 , 2016 , directed Malami to probe all top government officials accused of corruption.

In announcing the presidential directive , the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity , Garba Shehu , had said any of the government officials found guilty of the allegations levelled against them would not escape prosecution.

Based on that directive, the AGF had queried the Secretary to the Government of the Federation , Babachir Lawal ; and the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu , on the allegations levelled against them . They were reported to have since replied their queries. The Senate, had on December 14 , 2016 , called for the removal and prosecution of the SGF following alleged complicity in the diversion of the North - East humanitarian funds.

This followed the presentation of the interim report of the Ad hoc Committee on Mounting Humanitarian Crisis in the North - East by the Chairman of the Committee , Shehu Sani. The call for Lawal ’s removal followed alleged contravention of the
provisions of the Public Procurement Act and the Federal Government’s Financial Rules and Regulations pertaining to the award of contracts.

Exercise patience na.

I wan sleep. Wake me up the moment babu starts prosecuting Amaechi, Tinubu and other APC heavy weights who helped him into power financially

agabusta:


Exercise patience na.

Its almost 2 years. If we have to exercise patience for 2 years just to see results on the fight against corruption, I wonder how long we will have to wait for capital investment.

Corruption is a deadly cancer that should not be accommodated rather it should be killed.

If only there is the will to go against Dambazzau, Buratai, Abba Kyari and Babachir Lawal

Cool

Cekpo34:
So una still de believe in this Buhari jamboree of anticorruption?

YES



The progressives give a fu*k in this case

Watching in 700D

Buhari, the corrupt saint!

Ok nah.

very good

Which AGF?, the one also indicted? Can a thief probe a thief?

Please check out my signature for quality and durable furniture

With the exception of those that didn't vote for Buhari,i don't think any person that voted for him should have any regrets cos he is fulfilling his electoral promises.The focal point of his campaign was fighting corruption and ending boko haram insurgency and not improving the economy.Same way people who voted for Trump should feel if the US economy starts slumping when he starts building Mexican border wall with money meant for Obamacare,deporting illegal immigrants and bringing back the core moral and religious values which many Americans felt was lacking

YES



The progressives give a fu*k in this case

How progressive are they? Mention me again when The Grass Cutter is brought to book

If my prediction will be correct then Mallami probe panel will declare no guilty verdict on all the indicted official. The kings do no wrong, they are APC members.

#Kontunu

Na today?

How long will it take Buhari to probe these guys? If people can be detained without concrete evidence, why are these bastards still walking around and at that occupying government positions? In saner countries, those being probed are put on compulsory leave; in our case, they are left to meddle in investigations.

Na sooooooo
