Acting Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Mustafa Magu has vowed to clean the commission of bad eggs as it set out to wage sustainable war against corruption in the country.
The chairman acknowledged that in any organisation such as EFCC, one could not rule out such bad eggs, who are themselves corrupt, adding that he would look for them and weed them out.
Answering questions today at an interactive meeting with members of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP) in Abuja, Ibrahim Magu said: “we are looking at corruption within EFCC to have a clean house to be able to face other corrupt Nigerians.”
He expressed his determination to restructure the commission to make it strong and confidence enough to go for any corrupt individuals, no matter how highly place.
The chairman debunked the allegation in some quarters that EFCC has been one sided in the fight against corruption, saying that there is no truth in such allegation.
Ibrahim Magu made it clear that, with the declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that any of his ministers found to be corrupt would be sacked and prosecuted, the commission too would not engage in any form of favouratism.
According to him, the commission is searching the wardrobe of every Nigerian whether he is in All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or in any other party or place.
“But as I’m talking now, the commission has not received any complaint about people serving currently in the Buhari’s government. Any time such information gets to us, we will act on it.” [myad]
