The Federal Government, on Tuesday said it was considering the growing demand for the establishment of an International Anti-Corruption Court, describing it as a paradigm shift in its approach to combating corruption at the global level.
This was revealed by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) through his Deputy Director on Public Prosecution, Yusuf Abdullahi Abdulkadir in Abuja.
While describing corruption, the Attorney-General of the Federation said graft was a cancer that knows no boundaries, undermines trust, weakens institutions, hampers economic growth and perpetuates social injustice.
According to the Minister, the corrosive impact of corruption on Nigeria’s development, stability, and prosperity could not be overstated and the establishments of the courts could serve as an additional tool to complement and strengthen the nation’s domestic anti-corruption efforts.
