Nigeria Moves To Repatriate Prisoners From China
The Federal Government has ratified a prisoner-swap arrangement to facilitate the repatriation of Nigerian prisoners in China to serve out their jail terms back home, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has said.
Malami told State house Correspondents in Abuja after the weekly cabinet meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, for the deal to be effective, it will also require ratification by the Chinese authorities.
The minister disclosed that plans were on to sign similar deals with other countries.
He also revealed that the Council approved a Federal Government Action Plan on Anti-money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism.
“This was worked out after Nigeria’s recent suspension from Egmont Group,’’ he added.
The minister expressed the hope the approval would showcase new and more effective measures to combat these vices, as agreed by stakeholders in money laundering and anti-terrorism agencies.
