Olukoyede: We’ll enact law to ease recovery of stolen artefacts to Nigeria, Africa

Olukoyede said the current United Protocol in use for asset recovery does not address the peculiarities of African countries.

Ola Olukoyede, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , has unveiled plans to introduce a legal instrument that would facilitate the repatriation of stolen artefacts to countries in Africa.

“We’ve been using the existing United Nations Protocol and the AU protocol which has come on board. But we just felt that those protocols did not address some peculiar needs of our sub-region.“We are going to use the instrument of this protocol to ensure that we address those wide areas that the current protocol did not address.

NACIWA is a regional anti-corruption network made up of 14 member countries including Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea Conakry, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.
