Osuolale made the comment during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

“People are saying where are the fund recovered so far by the government, as a retired police officer, the funds are exhibits,” he said.

“Unless the cases are disposed of in court, the government cannot spend the recovered looted funds because it is only the court that can give the go ahead. And that is why people have to wait and see what happened at the end of the day,” he added.
