He revealed that the laidback attitude of the office of the attorney general of the federal has frustrated cases of extradition.

“Also, the laidback approach of the office of the AGF in particular in cases of extradition has not been helpful.
“Rather than strengthening the institutional capacity of the commission and the provisions of section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006, the commission and its enabling statutes have been subjected to numerous attacks and blackmails majorly aimed at whittling down the powers of the commission.
