I can't prosecute Madueke and others for lack of evidence - Buhari



In an exclusive interview with Peter Okwoche of the BBC, President Muhammadu Buhari

has disclosed that he is unable to prosecute the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deizani Alison-Madueke and other petroleum workers because of lack of evidence.

Peter Okwoche in a series of tweets quoted the President to have said, “To prosecute corruption successfully we need evidence. That’s not easy especially in petroleum sector.”

Buhari had threatened to prosecute all those who dipped their hand into the nation’s wealth for private use and among those brandished and suspected to be prosecuted is the immediate past petroleum Minister.

Buhari unwilling to give up on his search for evidence has unwittingly admitted that there was no form of evidence privy to his government against Mrs. Madueke and as such vindicated her from diverse alleged corrupt malpractices leveled against her by Nigerians.
