The President Muhammadu Buhari administration has quietly begun moves to
establish special courts that will try high-profile corruption-related
cases as part of the efforts to fight open stealing in the country.
According to PUNCH’s investigations, President Buhari is opting for a
comprehensive onslaught against the huge problem of corruption in the
country with a view to getting money to develop Nigeria.
Already, credible sources have confirmed that Buhari had concluded plans to submit a bill on the planned special anti-corruption courts to the National Assembly for immediate action.
A top operative of one of the anti-graft agencies, told Punch that the Government decided to set up the special courts because of the long delay by regular courts in deciding corruption-related cases.
It was further gathered that the President recently made a demand for 36 judges with the requisite integrity and boldness to decide cases in line with the law and not according to influence of the people or the pecuniary gains that come with associating with them.
The anti-graft officer said, “The President is being careful; he does not want people to do a wishy-washy job for him. Buhari is pressing for the establishment of special courts to try corruption cases. He wants the courts to be established in Abuja and the 36 states of the federation so that they can fast-track such cases.”
Investigations further revealed that the Federal Government had contacted the National Judicial Council to provide judges with impeccable reputation to preside over the planned courts.
It was gathered that the NJC released the names of 100 judges from the 36 states of the federation to the leadership of three major anti-corruption bodies in the country after an internal process of selection.
The judges have been screened by operatives of the EFCC and the ICPC. The fight is about to begin.
