Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) has responded to speculations about the administration of justice under the current political dispensation in the country.
Fagbemi said contrary to insinuations, he is not under any form of pressure from President Bola Tinubu to drop charges against friends of the administration.
Fagbemi said the Judiciary under the current administration respects the rule of law and has never allowed political considerations or sentiments to influence judicial actions and decisions.
He spoke on the sidelines of the 2025 Ministry of Justice top management retreat at the Four Point by Sheraton hotel, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom state.
Citing some of the cases against high-profile Nigerians on which critics based their accusations, the AGF said those particular cases had no concrete substance against the people involved.
