The Federal Government has set up
20 teams of prosecutors, comprising
80 lawyers, who will handle high
profile criminal cases investigated
by law enforcement agencies,
including the EFCC.

Sources say each of the teams had
four lawyers with a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria as the leader.

The lawyers have been specially
trained for the serious tasks of
dealing with looters of our money.

According to Punch, the Prof. Itse
Sagay-led Presidential Advisory
Committee Against Corruption was
very much involved in the training
of the special prosecutors.

The training, which ended in June,
lasted for over one month.

Sources in the Federal Ministry of
Justice in Abuja confirmed to
Punch that one of the teams of
prosecutors had been assigned the
forgery case recently instituted
against Bukola Saraki, Ike
Ekweremadu and others.

The new prosecuting team will fully
take over the forgery case from the
Director of Public Prosecutions of
the Federation, Mohammed Diri,
when the trial resumes on Monday.

Naijaloaded.com gathered that
President Buhari is not happy with
the slow pace of dealing with
looters and this new team is to
ensure justice is served for the good
of Nigeria in good time.
