FG Moves for Out-of-court Settlement on Police Fund Deductions
The federal government yesterday disclosed that it has entered into discussions with the Rivers State Government for an amicably out-of -court settlement of the dispute over deduction of funds from the Federation Account into the Nigeria Police Trust Fund .
“We are looking at the larger picture and we considered it necessary that we should sit down and work out amicable settlement, and we appreciate the plaintiff counsel for his understanding that we should take adjournment for meaningful resolution of this matter,” he said. Rather, Justice Mohammed okayed the accelerated hearing of the substantive suit, and urged all parties to explore an out-of-court settlement of the matter.
Again, the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, which was cited as the third defendant, was not represented by any lawyer at the proceedings yesterday.
