Senator Shehu Sani
Senator Shehu Sani, who represents Kaduna Central, has dared President Muhammadu Buhari toinclude those he called players of the "Broomers FC, Paris Saint Germain and Dynamo Cabal FC" in the list of looter s,which theFederal Government has promised to publish.
President Buhari had directed all relevant agencies to compile documents on names of all suspected looters.
This was disclosed by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abukabar Malami SAN, during a meeting at his office in Abuja with a delegation from the Social-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP).
Malami said: “President Muhammadu Buhari has directed all relevant agencies to compile documents on names of all looters with a view to promptly enforcing the judgment of a Federal High Court in Lagos ordering the government to release to Nigerians information about the names of high ranking public officials from whom public funds were recovered.”
This development was disclosed on Thursday in a statement by SERAP Executive Director, Adetokunbo Mumuni.
Mumuni spoke of a very productive meeting with Malami, which discussed among other critical issues the need for the government to obey the judgment delivered in July by Hon. Justice Hadiza Rabiu Shagari following a Freedom of Information suit.
Sani, in one paragraph reaction posted on his Facebook wall, commended the decision saying, “The Federal Government decision to ‘publish the names of looters’ is commendable. Hope the ‘call up’ list will not be limited to the ageing Umbrella United players, but will include those in the Broomers FC and ‘Paris Saint Germain’ and Dynamo Cabal FC players.”
