The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL) on Wednesday berated President Muhammadu Buhari's administration for dealing with Siemens, one of the companies involved in a famous bribery scandal.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2016 announced the re-opening and resumption of activities on the Halliburton and Siemens bribery scandals with the aim of bringing those culpable to justice, turning particular attention to the role played by Mr. Mohammed Adoke Bello, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice in the government of President Goodluck Jonathan.
CACOL called on the various anti-corruption agencies in the country to come out with their findings on the Halliburton and Siemens bribery scandals with the aim of bringing those culpable to justice. “The EFCC and other anti-corruption agencies involved in the cases should even look beyond the former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Joseph Daudu ; the former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke , Emmanuel Ukala , Chief Godwin Obla , Mr. Damian Dodo , and Mr. Roland Ewubare for their alleged involvement in the $182m Halliburton scandal. Everyone else involved in the Halliburton and Siemens scandal must pay for their crimes, no matter who they are.
