The Fight against Corruption has just started – EFCC

The economic and financial crimes commission has said that the fight for corruption in the country is just getting started as there would be massive fight against corruption in this year, disclosing that the commission planned to extradite 18 identified high profile looters taking refuge outside Nigeria to face trial.
The Acting Chairman of EFFC, Mr Ibrahim Magu who disclosed this in Ilorin, Kwara State, during a chat with newsmen, ’The fight against corruption has just started, it is being renewed this year. It is going to be serious henceforth”.

”We will extradite all looters hiding anywhere in the world. I think there are about 18 of them; I mean high profile looters.”

Magu assured that no high profile individual involved in corruption would be shielded from prosecution, saying “all of them would be arraigned as soon as investigations are concluded. There is going to be massive fight against corruption this year.

Part of President Muhammadu Buhari agenda on his visit to London is to seek support of international bodies in the extradition of looters hiding in foreign countries. I am going round the zonal offices to make sure everything is under control for effective performance and I always get in touch on daily basis.”
He, however, sought the cooperation of the Nigerian media to enable the agency succeed in its efforts at making Nigeria corruption free, adding that “We need the cooperation of the media in making Nigeria corruption free. EFCC cannot do it alone.”
