“The Buhari administration has also refused to obey the judgements by Justice Hadiza Rabiu Shagari ordering his government to tell Nigerians about the stolen assets it allegedly recovered, with details of the amounts recovered; and by Justice Mohammed Idris, ordering his government to publish details on the spending of stolen funds recovered by successive governments since 1999.”
“Paragraph 11 of the Fifth Schedule provides that every public officer shall immediately after taking office and thereafter at the end of every four years; and at the end of his/her term of office, submit to the Code of Conduct Bureau a written declaration of all his properties, assets, and liabilities and those of his unmarried children under the age of eighteen years.”
