A former Governor of Osun State, Mr. Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Sunday urged the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), to prosecute MTN Nigeria Communications Limited for allegedly failing to furnish the National Judicial Council (NJC) a complete call log of the retired President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami.
The former governor made the demand in a six-page petition filed through his counsel, Mr. Adebisi Raimi, noting the AGF’s refusal to take legal action against MTN Nigeria and its directors simply “represents not just a breach of the constitutional right of the petitioner but that of Nigerians as a whole.”
Oyinlola, therefore, explained that the refusal of the AGF “to take appropriate legal action against MTN Nigeria and its directors simply represents a breach of the constitutional right of Nigerians as a whole” even after the Nigeria Police had conducted fresh investigation and recommended that MTN be prosecuted.
He urged the AGF “to exercise his power of public prosecution entrenched in Section 174 (1) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution by initiating legal action against MTN Nigeria Limited and its directors so that public interest and the interest of justice enshrined under section 174 (3) could be duly served.
