The Federal Government has banned
no fewer than 50 persons from traveling abroad over corruption cases.
This followed a directive by
President Muhammadu Buhari on the full implementation of Executive order 6.
This was disclosed in a statement
by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu on Saturday.
The presidency, however, did not
reveal the identities of the affected persons.
The statement reads: “Following
the instant judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the
Executive Order 6 (EO6), President Muhammadu Buhari has mandated the
Attorney-General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice to implement the
Order in full force.
“To this end, a number of
enforcement procedures are currently in place by which the Nigeria Immigration
Service and other security agencies have placed no fewer than 50 high profile
persons directly affected by EO6 on watch-list and restricted them from leaving
the county pending the determination of their cases.
“Also, the financial transactions
of these persons of interest are being monitored by the relevant agencies to
ensure that the assets are not dissipated and such persons do not interfere
with, nor howsoever corrupt the investigation and litigation processes.
“It is instructive to note that
EO6 was specifically directed to relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure
that all assets within a minimum value of N50 million or equivalent, subject to
investigation or litigation are protected from dissipation by employing all
available lawful means, pending the final determination of any
corruption-related matter.
“The Buhari administration
reassures all well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians of its commitment to the
fight against corruption, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended)
and the general principles of the Rule of Law.
“Accordingly, this administration
will uphold the rule of law in all its actions and the right of citizens would
be protected as guaranteed by the Constitution.
“We, therefore, enjoin all
Nigerians to cooperate with the law enforcement authorities towards ensuring a
successful implementation of the Executive Order 6 which is a paradigm-changing
policy of the Federal Government in the fight against corruption.”

ReplyDeleteI Will vote u if your list is a balanced one, where the Ibom Lord is in and the likes of minister of transport is in. However, if it's a list of opposition then it's not different from your usual attitude and failed fight against corruption...
