Alamieyesigha, others pardon: US Embassy slams FG
The United States Mission to Nigeria has criticized the Federal
Government of Nigeria for pardoning corrupt ex-officials. The US Embassy
was referring to the recent pardon of DSP Alamieyeseigha, former
Bayelsa state Governor, who is currently wanted in the United Kingdom
for money laundering offences.
The Embassy made the statement on social media networking site, Twitter, via its twitter handle @USEmbassyAbuja.
The tweets read, “The #USG is deeply disappointed over the recent
pardons of corrupt officials by the GON. #Nigeria”. USG meaning United
States Government, and GON meaning Government of Nigeria.
The second tweet read, “We see this as a setback in the fight against corruption. #Nigeria”
The United States Government also this morning released a damning
statement surrounding the high level of insecurity in Nigeria. The
statement said the Nigerian government was demonstrating a “lack of
political will” to fight insecurity in the country.
