As a result of the revelation that Lt. –Gen. Tukur Buratai bought Dubai property worth $1.5m, Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana has urged President Buhari to sack him if he refuses to resign voluntarily.
Falana stressed that the fight against corruption must be holistic if the President must win the war against corruption.
Mr. Falana labelled as a “cock and bull story” what the Nigerian Army that the properties were paid for in different instalments via his personal savings. And further lamented how the name of the Nigerian Army has been used illegally to defend Buratai in the scam.
He further stressed that to date, no one has come out to tell Nigerians how an army General could be able to manage to save the sum $1.5m.
Furthermore, he stated “In view of the ban on the opening and operation of foreign accounts by public officers, the Code of Conduct Bureau should be involved in the investigation.”
More so, “If the Chief of Army Staff does not deem it fit to resign forthwith President Buhari should not hesitate to remove him in the interest of national morality.”
This is because President Buhari had promised Nigerians that his war against corruption will not respect anybody, no matter how highly placed, thus, Buratai should step down for there to be a full scale investigation the relevant government agencies to swing into action.
