AGF Prince Fagbemi Defends Dropping Cases, Denies Political Influence
Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) Prince Lateef Fagbemi defended the withdrawal of high-profile cases, denying political influence. He cited the recent example of dropping charges against Honeywell Group Chairman Dr. Oba Otudeko and former AMCON MD Ahmed Kuru due to recovered funds and lack of direct links to crimes.
Fagbemi clarified that cases like Arik Air would proceed. The decision was explained at a ministry retreat in Akwa Ibom State.
The AGF emphasized avoiding needless trials based on complainants' grievances. Two pending cases, including one involving Fidelity Bank MD Dr. Nneka, would continue.
