Attorney-General to assign lawyers to re-investigate commission's cases
The Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, said he would assign lawyers from the Federal Ministry of Justice to re-investigate cases handled by the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) to ensure transparency.
A statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by Chukwuemeka Nwosu, the Public Relations Officer of PCC, said the efforts would help the commission to fight injustice.
It said the attorney-general would host a stakeholders’ conference with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Crimes Commission in that regard.
According to the statement, the National Human Rights Commission and PCC will also feature in the conference to form the desired synergy for fighting criminality and corruption.
The statement said the commission solicited the cooperation of the Federal Ministry of Justice in handling such cases.
It said such cooperation would help the commission to handle cases where an offence had been committed against the state.
It noted that the commission was committed to ensuring that its mandates were achieved as Ombudsman, having secured the cooperation of other anti-corruption agencies in the country.
``If the commission is encouraged to perform its task, it will help in no small way to build peoples’ confidence in the judiciary,’’ it said.
According to it, the commission investigates and resolves complaints against government, public corporations, private organisations and public officials.
