The advocacy organ of the Pro-
National Conference (PRONACO),
Citizens Advocacy Group, (CAG),
has threatened to mobilise
Nigerians against any attempt by
government to neutralise the
report of the Farouk Lawan-led
committee on fuel subsidy scam
on the account of the bribery
allegation by Mr. Femi Otedola,
against the committee.
Commenting on the bribery saga
yesterday in Lagos, PRONACO
spokesperson, Mr. Olawale
Okunniyi, insisted that “as a
matter of fact, both the alleged
bribe giver, Mr. Femi Otedola, and
the alleged taker, Hon. Farouk
Lawan, are culpable under
Nigerian law and international
convention.”
The PRONACO spokesman also
tasked the Attorney General of
the Federation (AGF) and Minister
of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello
Adoke (SAN), to immediately
commence prosecution of the
case.
He described as unfortunate a
situation where a bribery scam
could be known to government;
yet the Attorney General and the
hierarchy of the Nigeria Police
Force (NPF) would fail to institute
charges against those involved in
the issue as a way of serving as a
deterrent to others.
“What we observed here is that
having deliberately rubbished the
indicting report of the House of
Representatives on the fuel
subsidy scam, the Federal
Government is now trying to
sweep the prosecution of the
bribery saga, involving one its
principal agents under the carpet
thereby portraying the Nigerian
government as promoting and
condoning fraud.”
“We also suspect that the
Nigerian Government seems to
be more concerned about
shielding the characters in the
scandal, otherwise a strong legal
action to bring the alleged
accused to trial before a
competent court of law should
have been taken on the
investigative report and prima
facie case established on the
alleged bribery scandal
presented to the office of the
Attorney General since August
2012 by the police.”
Okunniyi averred that the Police
authorities had presented a copy
of the police investigation on the
alleged bribery scam to the AGF
and had indeed drafted charges
for modification and immediate
action by the office of the AGF
but the AGF had failed to
commence prosecution of the
duo without a public explanation
on why it has taken so long to
institute a legal action against
the bribery scandal, which has
brought the country into a
negative spotlight and disrepute
in the international community.
“Therefore, any attempt by
government to be unjust in this
matter will be tabled before the
central committee of the National
Action Coalition (NAC) and would
be met with heavy resistance as
it is the responsibility of
Government to extinct corruption
and fraud in the Nigerian body
polity.
“The Federal Government must
end the tradition of fraud and
cover up of corruption involving
its allies and high profile
Nigerians and must take the fight
against corruption and bribery
seriously before they destroy
everybody,” he stated.
