Dafeamekpor defends Ayine’s handling of Aksa case, faults past AGs

Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has defended Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Dr Dominic Ayine’s handling of the alleged bribery scandal surrounding the Aksa power deal, arguing that previous administrations failed to act decisively on the matter.

Mr Dafeamekpor noted that Mr Dame later served as Attorney-General from 2021 to 2024, saying the current administration’s decision to re the matter should therefore be welcomed.

Mr Dafeamekpor also proposed that relevant state institutions, including the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the Attorney-General’s Office, work together with legal and civil society experts to examine the allegations.
