President Muhammadu Buhari has promised that all the property recovered from looters of the nation’s treasury would be sold and the proceeds remitted to the Federal Government coffers.
President Buhari who spoke in Kano on Thursday during interactive session with community leaders and stakeholders in the state held in Coronation Hall, Kano Government House, also reaffirmed his determination to wage war against corruption.
According to him, that property that would be sold would be served will serve as deterrent to politicians who are in the habit of swindling the country.
The president said that the rationale behind the decision was to avoid the previous mistake he made when he confiscated stolen property as Head of State and did not auction them.
He regretted that the property were later returned back to the looters when he was forced out of power.
“Public office holders involved in sharp malpractices would incur the wrath of God,” he added.
I will sell all looted property to the public, says Buhari
