The Executive Director of Conscience for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution (CHRCR), Comrade Idris Miliki Abdul has called on anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria to investigate the alleged donation of 30 vehicles to the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami.
The activist made the call in a statement issued in Lokoja on Thursday.
He insisted that the Minister must be investigated for receiving the vehicles donation under whatever guise as a public office holder.
While calling on EFCC, ICPC, the Nigeria Police Force, Code of Conduct Bureau and other relevant institutions to investigate the frivolous gift, the activist urged the agencies to prosecute all those involved through the relevant laws as the Attorney General can not be above the the law that he is appointed to protect.
“The vehicles donated are for what purpose? Who are those friends, their names, address, their means of livelihood. How can anyone serving as a Minister be given such donations?
“He has not even officially declared for any known political office or pay for nomination form from any known or recognized political parties in Nigeria. As number one law officer, how can he justify that kind of unwanted and fraudulent gift from unknown friends.
“We call on Barrister Abubakar Malami to publish the names, addresses and his relationship with these faceless friends. Also, he must declare the values of those vehicles.
“If the Attorney General could accept these types of gift or donations, it calls the anti-corruption status of the present government to question.”
