​Falana, others condemn amnesty for looters


Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Femi Falana; a former governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa; and the Vice-President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Monday Ubani, have condemned a bill in the House of Representatives seeking amnesty for treasury looters.

The bill, called the Economic Amnesty Bill, seeks to allow those who loot public treasury to return about 70 per cent of the stolen funds in exchange for total amnesty from prosecution.

The bill, sponsored by Linus Okorie (Peoples Democratic Party, Ebonyi) was read for the first time on the floor of the House on June 14.
