POLITICS: Buhari to Establish Anti-Corruption Court

Muhammadu Buhari, the president-elect, reportedly plans to establish
special anti-corruption courts to deal with tax evasion cases and
official graft.


National Mirror gathered that the court would be set up in the Federal
Capital Territory and would consider specific cases, including tax
evasion offences by companies, individuals and government officials.

Senator Aloysius Etok, the chairman of the Anti Money Laundering And
Cyber Security Coalition, disclosed this information on May 13,
Wednesday, at the National Assembly. He said that a group of senators
and reps had already got the nod from Buhari.

It is expected that the newly established courts would enable more
effective battle with such cases.

"We are confident that these courts will give accelerated hearing to
tax evasion cases and other cases bothering on corruption."

It should be noted that fighting corruption was announced as one of
the main priorities of the incoming administration.

It looks like the president-elect has already started considering the
ways. Still, the power transition is to be held on May 29. This date
will become the official starting point of evaluating Buhari's
performance as Nigeria's president.
