It has emerged that the Office of the Attorney General of The Federation is prosecuting corrupt Nigerian judges with the DSS and not the EFCC because the later failed to investigate petitions submitted to it earlier.
Reports said some human rights groups forwarded petitions to the Federal Ministry of Justice when the EFCC failed to investigate and prosecute the judges, Punch says.
It's also reported that the relationship between the EFCC and the Ministry of Justice had been frosty.
“From all indications, because of the EFCC’s seeming inaction on some of these cases, the ministry of justice has now resorted to forwarding the petitions to the DSS. Obviously the EFCC is not happy with this,” someone familiar with the matter said.
The relationship between the ministry and the anti-graft agency has actually not been cordial since President Muhammadu Buhari sent the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill, 2016, to the National Assembly through the AGF earlier this year.
