Assets Recovery: Malami allays Agencies’ Fear

The Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has assured all agencies involved in the recovery of the looted funds that the essence of regulations set in place was not to take away their statutory powers.

This was a statement signed by Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu,
Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations made available on Thursday 30th January, 2020.

The statement said Malami made the clarification in  his welcome address at the Head of Agencies sensitization on the implementation of the 2017 – 2021 National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS).

He said the issuance of the Asset Tracing, Recovery and Management Regulations 2019 on 29th October 2019 was aimed at consolidating the
efforts, attaining synergy and encouraging record centralization.

“I wish to use this medium to reassure particularly our Law Enforcement Agencies that are directly involved with asset recovery
that the essence of the Regulation is in no way intended to take away the statutory powers of any agencies but rather to consolidate these powers by encouraging synergy and also centralized records of proceeds of crime and ensure transparent disposal and management of assets in
line with the vision of the administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari GCFR,” he said.
