In the bid of the Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari to fight against corruption-the cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabric of the country and is capable of undermining security of Nigeria as a nation and generating huge economic damage and violating human development, the Attorney General of the Federation for Nigeria has released names of some prominent Nigerians who are under probe for money laundering; the names include ex-governors and serving senators.
In pursuance of the code of conduct act, the AGF reiterated that the fight against cybercrime, money laundering, oil bunkering and false assets declaration has taken a new and very strong dimension as three governors are already serving jail terms for corruption-related offences after getting convicted. The AGF made this declaration at a media meeting on Thursday, December 19, 2019, while stressing that the conviction of about 1,636 persons involved in corruption-related offences is a good indicator of the Nigerian President commitment to combat corruption without leaving any stone unturned.
