You Have Few Days To Come And Confess - Anti-Graft C’ttee Tells Looters

Professor Itse Sagay, SAN, who is the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption, yesterday urged all those who know their hands are dirty to come forward and confess, assuring that certain lenient terms can be obtained by doing so.

 
Speaking with Vanguard, yesterday, on the challenges before the committee, Sagay promised that the fight against corruption will not be selective even as he disclosed that the agenda for the anti-corruption committee was still being worked out by the Federal Government. President Muhammadu Buhari recently appointed a Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption headed by Sagay.

The committee’s brief, according to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, is to advise the Federal Government on the prosecution of the war against corruption and the implementation of required reforms in Nigeria’s criminal justice system.

Sagay, who said the agenda of the committee was the prerogative of the Federal Government, explained that “the agenda is still being worked out, it is not my personal thing. In fact, the whole agenda belongs to the Federal Government.

“The committee is still meeting to work out the details of its operations and their priorities, that is when the issue of the agenda will arise. It is premature to talk about that now.”
