\"ImageNov 24, 2017: A professor of Law at the University of Lagos, Ayodele Atsenuwa, has said that most of the funds allegedly stolen under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan were money recovered from late Nigeria\u2019s dictator, Sani Abacha.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n
\n

Speaking Friday in Abuja at a conference on Tracking Noxious Funds organised by the MacArthur Foundation and Kent Law School, Mrs. Atsenuwa advocated a more transparent way in handling loots recovered from corrupt Nigerians. \u00a0 \u201cFrom what we are seeing now, adequate steps need to be taken to address the issue of top government officials re-looting recovered loots,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The senate ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the controversial reinstatement of former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdul-Rasheed Maina, had on Thursday accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, of allegedly \u2018sharing\u2019 222 houses recovered by the pension reform team headed by Mr. Maina.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Atsenuwa added that Nigerian law is against the whistle blower policy initiated by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian law is against paying someone who blows whistle,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier at the opening ceremony of the conference on Thursday, the Executive Secretary of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Bolaji Owasanoye, said as at October 2017, over 5000 \u201cwhistles\u201d had been \u201cblown\u201d since the introduction of the whistle blower initiative in the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking on a topic: Law and Practice of the Whistle Blower Policy of Nigeria; Scope of Citizens\u2019 Participation, he said citizens have the responsibility to ensure that governments act rightly.<\/p>\n

Mr. Owasanoye said the whistle blower initiative was also designed to improve government revenues, adding that officials of the government agencies involved in the implementation of the policy would not benefit from the reward for the whistle blowers to encourage the citizens.<\/p>\n

\n
Also at the event, acting EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, expressed hope that the conference would come up with more ideas that would aid the fight against corruption.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Also speaking at the opening ceremony, human rights activist, Femi Falana, said failure on the part of government to arrest the former Director-General of State Security Service, Ita Ekpeyong, and a former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ayo Oke, who had refused to report for questioning over corruption allegations, would send a wrong signal.<\/p>\n

Mr. Falana said the two ex-government officials could be prosecuted for resisting arrest after the anti-graft body had obtained a warrant of arrest, citing the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act which barred any move to frustrate the rule of law.<\/p>\n
