Kebbi State governor, Atiku Bagudu, disclosed this yesterday, after a meeting of the Presidential Taskforce on Rice and Wheat Production, chaired by acting president Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, yesterday.

Over the decades, there has "been respect for the independence of the Justice Department as a law enforcement...
