ACTIVIST lawyer Mr Femi Falana has asked the Federal Government to declare how much stolen funds it has recovered since 1999.
He said: “The Federal Government has recovered huge sums of money from looters. One of the policies of government, the whistle-blowing policy, has fetched the country N605 billion as of three months ago. I am, therefore, suggesting that the billions recovered by the EFCC, let the Federal Government allocate at least N1 billion to every local government area for job creation for our young men and women.
“What we have done is to create agencies, like the Legal Aid Council, the National Human Rights Council and individual lawyers to encourage them to ensure that the poor get justice. The activist lawyer gave example of notorious kidnapper Evans, who allegedly used a Lance Corporal to pass through checkpoints without being checked while his victims were in the boot.
