Nigeria’s Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, has disclosed that the Federal Government is considering many solutions to resolve the pending cases of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho.
Malami made this known during a recent press briefing in Abuja.
While talking that criminal activities must be punished, Malami stated that the Federal Government has been implementing an amnesty option towards battling some security challenges in the country.
He said: “The FG does not mind considering political solutions in the cases of Kanu and Igboho as canvassed by some stakeholders in the country but such consideration is not yet on the table.
“As far as the security situation is concerned and as far as governance and this administration is concerned, you cannot rule out all possibilities”, Malami said, adding that, “But then there has to be an approach for government to consider.”
However, he said that he could not be preemptive at this stage by stating explicitly and outrightly that reconciliation moves are being considered without an approach being made.
He noted that the Federal Government “will look into for the purpose of looking at its weight, the authenticity of it, the good faith associated with it and then bring about the considerable factors relating to the negotiations or otherwise.
“So it is not a conclusion that one can outrightly make without juxtaposing associated facts relating to the reconciliation. There has to be an approach and then a counter consideration.
“So no approach in that respect is on the table for consideration yet. So we’ll cross the bridge when eventually we get to that; when perhaps a type of request is made, we’ll consider.”
