President Muhammadu Buhari has made it clear that he would sack any of his ministers who is found to be corrupt by the competent court of justice in Nigeria, even as he asked Nigerians to take any of them to court if they have evidence of corruption against such minister.
He also indicated the possibility of banning the use of Hijab by Muslim women if Boko Haram continues to use women in Hijab to launch attacks on innocent people.
The President, who spoke today during his first presidential media chat said: “if I picked anyone guilty of corruption, then it wasn’t intentional. But if anyone is found guilty, you (referring to one of the interviewers) should take the person to court.”
Asked what he would do if any of his appointees is found guilty of corruption, Buhari responded: “I will sack such persons and also ensure they are prosecuted.”
President Buhari who expressed anger at the renewed spate of bombings, said he was considering banning the hijab to check attacks.
“I was in Chad and the ban is one of the measures they have adopted.
“We will have to take that option here in Nigeria if these senseless bombings go on,” the president told his interviewers.
Hijab is a veil that covers the head and chest and worn by some Muslim woman beyond the age of puberty in the presence of adult males outside of their immediate family. [myad]
