President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has made an appeal to Nigeria’s Judiciary to hastily prosecute cases of Oil theft and other related crimes in order to curb the revenue loss emanating from the sector.
Lawan made the appeal when the Leadership of the Senate met with Heads of the Security Agencies, as a follow-up to a similar one held in August.
Also in attendance were the Chief of Defence Staff, the three Service Chiefs, the Inspector General of Police, the Directors-General of the National Intelligence Agency(NIA), the State Security Service(SSS), and the Commandant General of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps while the Acting Comptroller General of the Immigration Service was represented.
In his opening speech, the Senate President noted that it’s not enough to just confiscate the looted goods but ensure they are publicly brought to book.
