Minister of Information and Orientation, Lai Mohammed
The Federal Government through its Minister of Information and National Orientation, Lai Mohammed has said hard times face those who looted the treasury and caused deaths of many Nigerians.
This was addressed during a press conference on Tuesday by Mohammed who said due process will be followed in prosecuting all those guilty. He described as great injustice what those who were in-charge before the present administration did to Nigerians by squandering tax payers' money, stealing and looting the treasury without considering how they ruined others by their greedy acts.
“The dilemma of government is how to redress the past wrong. What I want to assure you is that nobody, who is responsible for this situation either by sponsoring Boko Haram or stealing our resources, will go unpunished. That I can assure you. But we will follow due process.”
He also said Nigeria's legal system is up-to-date to tackle the issue of judiciously as everything will be done within the ambit of the law.
“Our legal regime is different. I can assure you that it is not in the interest of the military to protect Boko Haram because they are the first victims of the activities of the insurgents.”
He said the Nigerian Military is now better equipped to tackle the insurgents as it is showing results already.
“The military is leaving no stone unturned up till now. Right now, the military is undertaking major onslaughts,” he added.
