A chieftain of All progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto state, Alhaji Abdullahi Bafarawa, on Monday advised President Muhammadu Buhari to set up special courts to handle cases of treasury looting.
He also urged the president to appoint God-fearing Judges to try the cases.
Bafarawa told NAN in Sokoto that prosecuting those who stole public funds would serve as lesson for others with similar motives.

He advised that only fearless and courageous judges should be given the responsibility to try persons that would be indicted for looting the nation’s funds.
“Those stolen funds should be recovered for the common good of the citizens of the country,” he said.
He advised judges handling corruption cases to ensure quick dispensation of the matters, cautioning that “long litigation is affecting the smooth dispensation of justice.”
Bafarawa commended Buhari for the bold steps being taken to recover the nation’s money from corrupt public officers.

It's been 25 years since Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait

A quarter century ago, after Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army successfully invaded and took over the tiny Persian Gulf nation of Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush famously drew a line in the sand against Iraqi aggression. While the United States and its allies easily ejected Iraq from Kuwait within seven months of the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion, Bush's line has continued onward in an almost Biblical fashion, accompanied by plenty of pre-modern horrors. The Gulf War begat the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which begat the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, which begat ISIS, which begat a potential future war with Iran or Syria or even what remains of Iraq.
