The League of Patriotic Lawyers has said that the decision of a human
rights activist Mr. Femi Falana ,SAN, to drag former Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and others to the International Court
of Justice, is a move in the right direction.
Falana
Briefing newsmen, President of the association, Mallam Abubakar
Yesufu urged Falana not to be discouraged by the criticisms trailing his
action in some quarters, adding that no better honour could be done to
the late Gani Fawehinmi’s memory than to fight against impunity and
financial recklessness.
His words: “The League has thrown its weight behind Femi Falana in
his attempt to assist in sanitizing the cesspool of corruption that has
bedeviled our political space for nearly two decades.
‘’The league commended Falana’s courage to drag the former Madam
Okonjo-Iweala before the international court of justice. Those who
turned our soldiers to lame duck and soft targets to be preyed upon by
the Boko Haram by deliberately refusing to fund or misappropriate funds
already appropriated definitely are subjects of international court of
justice and proper sanction awaits them when their indictment is
eventually unsealed now or in future.”
