The Senate on Wednesday passed the Whistle-Blowers Protection Bill, which recommends a five-year jail term or N10m fine against persons who raise false alarm on hidden loot.
The upper chamber of the National Assembly also approved that five per cent of loot recovered as a result of information from a whistle-blower be given to the informant, as currently being practised by the Federal Government.
The passage of the bill, which was sponsored by the Deputy Minority Whip, Abiodun Olujimi (PDP, Ekiti-South), followed the consideration and adoption of the report by the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters.
The panel said the bill was to build a legal framework for whistle-blowing as part of the anti-corruption campaigns of the current administration.

Why Overlook More Pressing Problems For A Trivial Issue As Whistle Blowers?For Instance;the Igbo Man Who Resides In The Northern Part Of Nigeria Is In Dilemma At The Moment.He Is Hanging On The Brink Of A Violent Precipiece Because The Deadline Given By Northern Youths Is Fast Approaching.This Issue Is Far More Important Than Whistle Blowers.Discuss It And Act On It; that's What Makes U Senators.Too Hopeless Of U Discussing Trivial Issues.Trivially Hopeless.
