The race for the 2021 Anambra state governorship seat began on a novel dimension yesterday with a group under the aegis of Sustenance of Faith in Governance(SOFIG)calling on the former boss of Abuja Municipal Area Council(AMAC) and later the member of Federal House of Representatives representing Abuja Area council, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu to go for it.
The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation has said there is no sufficient evidence to prosecute the 33 operatives of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad indicted in last year’s report of a Presidential Investigative Panel, Sunday PUNCH has learnt.
The AGF’s office has therefore asked the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, to set up “a special investigation team” to conduct “thorough investigation” into the cases.
This is contained in a report of a committee set up by the AGF, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN), to review the individual cases recommended for prosecution by the special presidential panel.
Our correspondent on Friday obtained the excerpts of the report from a top police source.

U.S. President Donald Trump has refused to concede after his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, secured the required number of electoral college votes to win the presidential race.
In a defiant statement shortly after Biden was projected winner, Trump said the election was “far from over”, and criticised Biden for “rushing to falsely pose as the winner”.
Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, on Friday night said he had already started preparing for work as President of the United States.
In a speech from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden reiterated that he would win the election, even with the counting of votes still ongoing.
“We don’t have a final declaration of victory yet, but the numbers tell us it’s clear. We are going to win this race,” he stated.
