The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has challenged those alleging that his office received N2 billion from the recovered loots, to prove so.
The challenge is contained in a statement issued by his spokesperson Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu made available to newsmen on Thursday.
According to the statement, prior to the repatriation of all the recovered assets Nigeria and relevant nations have been signed memorandum of understanding as to what the monies will be put to and the government has been working in compliance with all the provisions of multi-national agreements reached.
It was on the bases of the application of the said funds in line with the agreements that Nigeria earns reputation among international committee of nations which translated into further recoveries.
He said the federal government has a designated account at the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, for all recovered assets.
He said Malami, neither as a person nor as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, did not in any way receive any funds from the recovered assets.
“Malami therefore challenges any person who has any evidence of such payments made to him or his office to come out publicly with proofs,” the statement reads.
