One of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’sministerialnominees, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has announced his intention to seek the merger of theEconomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related matters Commission (ICPC) and other anti-graft agencies if madeAttorney General of the Federation (AGF)and Minister of Justice.
Fagbemi said this during his screening by theSenate in Abuja on Wednesday.
He explained that such would strengthen the agencies as both will still carry out its mandate as stipulated in the Acts that established them.
He also stated that as the AGF, the role of investigation and prosecution by a single agency would be discouraged as that limits the process of justice.(The Nation)
