The final result is that the roads aren't constructed and the people suffer and even die in road injuries that are avoidable when the money meant to build roads is looted. We all are sentenced to darkness, when the money intended to supply electricity is looted. When a few pocket the money meant for health care, we are not able to reduce infant and maternal mortality. These will be the costs of corruption. Let's not just discuss corruption in the abstract, let's be counting its price to our lives in order to drive home the point that corruption must be tackled decisively for Nigerians to feel the effect of governance."

The government was criticized for trampling on the rights of accused individuals or disobeying court orders. Mohammed disagreed.
He explained: "What are we even talking about? Is the human right of the 55 men more important than human rights of 170 Nigerians? But again, I want to make it clear that we usually do not disobey court orders".
He said the simplest way will be to go to the court or the EFCC to find out who they are as they all have one pending case or the other in the court when prodded to supply info on the 55 persons.
"On our own part too, we make sure that as soon as the management of legal justice is actualised, it's going to decrease the amount of time it takes now to prosecute a case because under that law, I believe the most time allowed for adjournment is two."
