The Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami has disclosed that
President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Executive Order 6 to target the assets of
people under trial over allegations of corruption.
He said the true intention of the
Executive Order 6 was to make sure that assets connected to such persons were
not squandered.
Featuring on Channels television,
on Thursday, the AGF said: “The essence of the Executive Order number 6, is to
attack the economic undertones that constitute the source of strength, the
source of desire of the person, in terms of nailing down the process of
judicial determination of process.”
Malami also dismissed claims that
Buhari has no regards for court orders.
He said: “You cannot adjudge an
aggrieved person or party that has gone on appeal against a judgment or order
to be in disobedience of the court order when he or she has a pending appeal
which has been supported with a stay of execution.
“Or perhaps you cannot vilify an
aggrieved person, who has filed an application asking the court to set aside an
earlier ruling granting bail.”
