The Nigerian Senate has approved and passed the Bill on
mutual assistance in criminal matters between Nigeria and other foreign
states.
The executive
bill presented to the senate by President Muhammadu Buhari, provides for
the repeat of the money laundering offences, provide protection for
employees of various institutions, provide appropriate penalties and
other purposes.
Under the passed Bill, the Nigerian government may request that any country where a money launderer is hiding out to aid in the prosecution of such person, or such person may even be prosecuted in accord with the law of the host country. Nigeria would also be able to supply the country with unending support to aid a conviction.
This is the kind of innovation and cooperative anti-corruption scheme that will truly discourage money laundering”
