The former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, SAN, said the Ministry of Justice has recovered 779.5 million dollars and 59.2 billion naira stolen from the country.
Malami said this in Abuja, while handing over to the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dayo Apata.
He also said that inline with relevant provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, the ministry had reached an advanced stage in efforts to ensure the forfeiture of cash and property worth billions to the Federal Government.
The minister also said that the ministry, as part of efforts to expedite action on corruption related cases during his tenure, the Chief Justice of Nigeria designated special courts to prioritise corruption and financial crime related cases.
He said the committee had been directed to liaise with heads of the concerned courts to ensure that the selected courts were designated appropriately and were provided with adequate human and material resources.1�y4bJ��
