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.
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.”
