You must return stolen funds el rufai tells pension thieves
A recent development in Nigeria!
Here's a summary of the situation:
Nasir el-Rufai, the Governor of Kaduna State in Nigeria, has ordered the recovery of stolen pension funds from thieves. In a statement, el-Rufai directed the state's Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice to take immediate action to recover the stolen funds.
The stolen funds are believed to be part of the over N33 trillion (approximately $90 billion) allegedly stolen from the Nigerian pension industry by corrupt officials and individuals. The theft has been ongoing for several years, with many pensioners struggling to access their retirement benefits.
El-Rufai's directive is seen as a bold move to tackle the issue of pension theft, which has been a major concern for many Nigerians. The Governor has vowed to ensure that those responsible for the theft are brought to justice and that the stolen funds are recovered and returned to their rightful owners.
This development is a positive step towards addressing the issue of corruption and ensuring that pensioners receive their rightful benefits. It also sends a strong message to those involved in pension theft that they will be held accountable for their actions.
Here's the full statement from el-Rufai:
"I have directed the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice to take immediate action to recover the stolen pension funds. We will not tolerate the theft of pension funds and we will ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
We will also ensure that the stolen funds are recovered and returned to their rightful owners. This is a matter of great importance to us and we will not rest until justice is served.
I urge all those involved in pension theft to return the stolen funds immediately. We will not hesitate to take action against anyone found to be involved in this illegal activity.
We are committed to protecting the rights of pensioners and ensuring that they receive their rightful benefits. We will not tolerate any form of corruption or theft in our state."
