The attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami has stated that the federal government is determined to end impunity.
In a statement issued by his media aide Umar Gwandu in commemoration of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists which is celebrated on November 2 every year, the AGF disclosed that “Nigeria is no longer among the countries with impunity for crimes against journalists”.
He said “The deliberate and committed efforts of the President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government through the implementation of many reforms in the Nigerian justice sector to include increased access to justice, speedy justice dispensation, decongestion of Nigeria’s correctional centres and judicious implementation of the Criminal Justice Act and Justice Sector reforms. With the solid foundation of reformed justice sector to be bequeathed by Buhari Administration, never again will Nigeria feature among nations where journalists, citizens and inhabitants of the country will suffer from any form of impunity in the future.”
