Lagos — PRESIDENT of Coalition AgainstFraud in Nigeria, CAFIN, Mr.
Debo Adeniran, yesterday, identified poor reports by police
investigators as the reason many corruption cases were not
successfully prosecuted.
Adeniran  spoke in an interview with journalists in Lagos.
He gave the suggestion on the sideline of the just concluded five-day
workshop on Corporate Fraud organised by the Police Special Fraud Unit
in collaboration with City of London Police.
According to him, prosecutors of corrupt wealthy Nigerians found it
difficult to charge the suspects accurately in court, saying, "there
should be cooperation between the officers to carry out prosecution
after investigation.
The investigators should be able to send a report in such a way that
it will be easy for prosecutors to file a proper case. Most of the
investigations are badly written and it will be difficult for
prosecutors to make use of them to file good charges.
"When a case is badly filed, the judge will have no case to work on
and that may lead to court throwing out the case."
