Sagay –Bank Chiefs To Be Tried For Aiding Corruption

The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay said, the body would push for the prosecution of bank chiefs who connived with looters to move and hide stolen funds.

He said the “monstrous epidemic of high-profile corruption” could not have afflicted Nigeria without bankers’ collusion. “They must not get away with it. In my own little way, we are going to push for the prosecution of such bank chiefs. They must be prosecuted,” Sagay said. 
 
He said the legislature, senior lawyers, Special Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), and some “hostile and powerful judges” work against efforts to rid the country of corruption. “There is a gang up of the powerful political, business, and banking elite that is determined to frustrate the anti-corruption struggle,” he said.
