The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN), has called for greater support in facilitating the recovery of Nigeria’s stolen assets abroad.
He also disclosed that the government is working assiduously to narrow the gap between confiscated assets abroad and the actual assets returned to the country.
Malami particularly canvassed for international cooperation in facilitating mutual legal assistance for tracing, freezing, seizing, confiscating and returning to Nigeria proceeds of corruption stashed abroad.
The AGF made the call while virtually delivering Nigeriaâs Country Statement at the 14th United Nations Crime Congress held in Kyoto from March 7 to 12, 2021.
