Former Nigerian presidents, IBB, Abdulsalami and Buhari
 
Speaking with Vanguard during an interview in Abuja, the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has disclosed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government may soon initiate probe into the Siemens and Halliburton bribery scandals.
 
It was learnt that the highly publicised scandal involved a number of prominent Nigerians, including former military Heads of State, Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Senator Jubril Aminu, who were accused of collecting bribes to award multi-million dollar contracts to the two foreign companies.
 
The AGF revealed that the current government had not closed any criminal case being investigated in the country and refuted claims that Buhari was afraid of taking up the Halliburton and Siemens cases because the key suspects were top military leaders.
 
He stated that the President was not afraid to do what is right in the interest of Nigerians, noting that the President had zero tolerance for corruption. He also stressed that the current administration would not close any corruption case.
 
According to Malami, the government would observe the rule of law in its pursuit of corruption cases in the country.

"No extraneous influence can influence our actions as we move to fight corruption in all its ramifications. To be noted also is the clear fact that no criminal case can be closed once the facts are handy regardless of who is involved," Malami said.

#Football News: 7 Reasons Why Jose Mourinho is Bad For Manchester United

Image
  Jose Mourinho Jose Mourinho is going to be bad news for Manchester United. Oh, I'm sure he'll win matches. He's widely regarded as one of the best managers in the world, speaks five languages, and knows his onions. But in every other respect he's going to make the most irritating football club on the planet even worse. Because Jose is bad for football, full stop. 1. Image rights This is a man who in 2013 sold his autograph. Not an example of his signature, but his actual autograph. The thing he squiggles on cheques, in birthday cards, on his passport. For 10 years. Along with his face. To Roman Abramovich. Lots of footballers do the same in deals about their image rights, but what good has the sale of image rights done for the game? It's made it more expensive, the stars more arrogant, and the fans a little poorer. Someone who was good for football would try to make it less avaricious, and resist the lure of Lucifer's...
