ABUJA— The President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, has called for tighter oversight on how recovered stolen assets are utilised.
According to her, the administration of recovered assets must adhere to principles of transparency, integrity, and public accountability.
Speaking at the 43rd Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime at the University of Cambridge, Justice Dongban-Mensem argued that recovering stolen assets goes beyond confiscating illegitimately acquired funds or property, adding that it is equally an act of restoring justice.
