The fight against corruption is total and will spare no one, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has vowed.
This is as he disclosed that no fewer than 22 former governors were under probe over alleged corrupt practices.
“It (anti-corruption war) is total, comprehensive and dispassionate devoid of any political or ethnic sentiments or inclination,” he said.
Malami who spoke with journalist in Abuja on Thursday said the EFCC had already convicted 1,636 persons for corruption related offences from 2015 to September, 2019.
He said although three former governors – Joshua Dariye (Plateau), Jolly Nyame (Taraba) and Orji Kalu (Abia) – had been convicted, more were still being investigated.
“It might interest you to note that former state governors and even serving senators are not spared.
“Currently, high profile personalities including judicial officers and former governors indicted for corruption have been prosecuted and many sentenced to jail.
“We have three former governors convicted and serving various jail terms for corruption related crimes while in office.
“Equally, 22 ex-governors are either under probe or on trial.”
