Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has expressed his concern to President Bola Tinubu regarding the potential wrong signals being sent in the fight against corruption.

Falana highlights that there are individuals within the Aso Presidential Villa who are currently facing corruption charges.

Falana made these remarks during his participation as a guest at the 60th anniversary celebration of the call to bar of Aare Afe Babalola in Ekiti State on Monday. 

“I’m urging the president to lead an anti-corruption crusade so that the country – the largest concentration of black people on earth, can take its rightful place in the committee of nations.

“Highly-placed public officers steal money meant for building hospitals, and people are dying on our roads.

“Some of those who are going in and out of the villa are standing trial for looting the treasury of this country. So, wrong signals must not be sent to our people and the international community,” Falana said.
