The Chairman, Presidential
Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), has said that he
cannot speak on the decision of the Muhammadu Buhari-led government to drop the
prosecution of Gombe Central senator, Danjuma Goje, because he did not have
details of the matter.
Sagay said this during an interview
with The PUNCH on Monday.
The senior advocate, however,
said he would not be in support of the move if it was done for political
reasons.
He said he could not speak on the
matter because he did not know why the case was dropped.
Sagay said, “I’m not aware of the
reason because my answer must depend on the reason. I’m going to find out.
Let’s put it this way: if there is a good case against him, then it is
withdrawn, it’s not justified.
“One really needs to know the
reason; I don’t want to start condemning him without finding out why. But if
there’s a good case and that case is withdrawn for political reasons, I cannot
support it.
“That’s all I can say, but there
may be a justifiable reason which I don’t know yet. So, I’m not going to
condemn (the Federal Government) yet without enough knowledge of the
circumstances.”
