President Muhammadu Buhari has
given reasons his administration can’t prosecute the former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal over allegation of fraud.
Buhari said his administration
can’t prosecute Lawal because there is no prove of fraud allegations against
the former SGF.
Speaking during an NTA
interactive session on Wednesday, Buhari challenged anyone with evidence
against Lawal to come forward.
According to Buhari: “I don’t
think that anybody that is being booted out is corrupt.
“I told you why I have to be
careful. If there are strong allegations, people should come out with strong
evidence like names of companies looted, contracts awarded, then, we take them
before the court and ICPC and we have to trust the system and allow them to
complete their investigation
“If we just arrest them and look
the other way as we did in the military system…democracy is a multi-party
system that does not approve that. So, if there is strong allegation, the
government may ask people to go like the former secretary general.”
