Buhari govt gets ultimatum to prosecute Goje as AGF stops N25bn fraud trial
A Federal High Court sitting in Jos, last week, threw out the corruption case where Danjuma Goje is accused of fraud in an N25 billion sleaze funds, after the office of the Attorney General of the Federation asked the court to halt the trial.
In a statement signed on Monday, Human and Environmental Development Agenda Chairman, Mr. Olanrewaju Suraju, said: “Many Nigerians have the reason to suspect that transparency is being sacrificed on the altar of politics and horse-trading in the interest of the election of principal officers of the National Assembly.
“The decision of the AGF to take over the case from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, is raising a lot of concern. There is no justification for this decision. The EFCC is doing a great job through diligent prosecution. HEDA said this withdrawal has no justification except to confirm the rife speculations that the case was compromised to meet “political considerations” as in previous cases taken over by the AGF office.
