Hyacinth Alia of Benue has suspended the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Public Order, Mr Fidelis Mnyim, over his role in the suit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/p>\n<p>Alia announced the suspension when he addressed newsmen after the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting on Wednesday in Makurdi.<\/p>\n<p>WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that 16 federation states in a suit CTN23102024 approached the Supreme Court through their attorneys general, praying the court to proscribe the EFCC.<\/p>\n<p>They also challenged the establishment of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).<\/p>\n<p>The governor stated that the AG was suspended for joining the state among the 16 states challenging the status of EFCC and ICPC without consulting him.<\/p>\n<p>He wondered why Benue would join the League of States, challenging the status of the EFCC and ICPC, which were working to help his administration recover funds allegedly diverted by the past administration.<\/p>\n<p>Alia accused the suspended commissioner of working autonomously without first clearing from his administration if the suit was in line with his administration\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The governor said the AG remained suspended until he provided all the necessary explanations before reinstatement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel quite disturbed and uncomfortable with the position of my attorney general, who mentioned taking the EFCC to court, alongside other states, through their attorneys general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBenue has been deprived of its financial resources by past governments, and we are only trying to recover what we can to develop the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo why would my administration suddenly decide to take action against the EFCC, an organization that is actually helping us recover stolen funds?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are looking for money to develop the state, so why would we go back and say we are taking this agency to court for prescription? That is not the position of Benue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI strongly believe that if we let this go, we will not be blessed. Therefore, the commissioner must be held accountable for this decision,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The governor advised anyone representing the state to revert to the government for guidance.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the government has standards it was working with, adding that no one was independent.<\/p>\n<p>The governor stressed that it was highly unacceptable for the commissioner to have spoken on behalf of Benue regarding the proscription of the EFCC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I speak here, the attorney general stands suspended until he provides a satisfactory explanation. The Benue position is very clear: if you do not adhere to the rules, you will face consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are rules of conduct and ethics we must follow. I cannot have saboteurs within the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have dedicated my time to recovering the resources of the state that were lost. The only establishments that can help us with this are the EFCC or the ICPC. So why would we undermine their efforts?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe commissioner has a lot of questions to answer, and he remains suspended until I receive all the explanations regarding his decisions for the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will refer this matter to the appropriate authorities,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 federation states in a suit approached the Supreme Court through their attorneys general, praying the court to proscribe the EFCC and ICPC Gov.
