It doesn\u2019t augur well to ask the same authority to (carry out) investigation and prosecution. That is why we have problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fagbemi also emphasised that conducting investigations requires \u201cpatience\u201d to ensure a thorough and proper examination.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWe are not also patient enough. Investigation takes time, especially in serious corruption cases. Are we prepared to wait?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy take is that, a situation such as the one that happened when Hushpuppy was arrested. They have been trailing him for years but he didn\u2019t know, and nobody talked to him. But the day they said the time was up, he also knew that the time was up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestigation should be thorough. It shouldn\u2019t be that when a sitting governor leaves office then say EFCC is inviting you. That is not the way to prosecute criminal and corruption matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to put in place very good laws to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SAN asked the parliament to make laws that will be good for society without the lawmakers \u201canticipating\u201d how it will affect me.<\/p>\n<p>Fagbemi, who is a nominee from Kwara, was accompanied to the red chamber by AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq, governor of the state, and several SANs, including Wole Olanipekun, Yusuf Ali and Adeniyi Akintola.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fagbemi says fighting corruption is being done the wrong way in Nigeria He says investigation and prosecution of corruption cases should be handled by more than one agency Lateef Fagbemi, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), says the way corruption and grafts are being fought in Nigeria leaves so much to be desired.
