Efforts by the federal government to
extradite political office holders who have

fled the country to come back to answer
for their crimes will soon earn results.

extradition of suspected looters who have
fled the country will dominate President

counterparts when 60 world leaders meet
in the United Kingdom next month, Punch

would at the summit explore ways of
bringing to the country politicians who

State for Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro;
a former National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu;
and a former Chairman of the Pension
Reform Task Force, Abdulrasheed Maina.
