Senator Aloysius Etok, former Chairman of Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service Matters, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to grant amnesty to politicians who looted Nigeria’s treasury.
According to PUNCH, Etok, who represented Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District at the National Assembly from 2007 to 2015, said the idea is to enable those who looted the country’s funds from the different sectors to willingly return what is left of their loot.
He said, ”Let us have self amnesty programme for those who looted the economy. If for instance you have stolen N6 and you have eaten N2, you should be allowed to return the N4 that is left. That should be the starting point”.
