Mr Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman, Economic and Financial
Crime Commission has alleged that some state governors are afraid
of organising flamboyant parties because of the commission.
Magu, said on Monday during his working visit to the
commission’s zonal office in Makurdi that some of the governors
were now maintaining a low profile.
He said that the development was due to the fact that whenever
the governors contravened the law, EFCC would come after them, as
they were always on the commission’s radar, both within and outside
the country.
“EFCC is all eyes and ears, wherever and whenever they organise
such ostentatious parties, they will be fished out and prosecuted,
be it within or outside the country.
The acting EFCC chairman stressed that the commission would not
relent in its efforts at curbing their excesses, stressing that
necessary strategic plans had been put in place and were expected
to yield results in the fight against corruption.
According to Magu, even though corruption is deep-rooted in the
country, the anti-corruption war of the Federal Government is
yielding results.
He said that the task of fighting corruption was very complex
and sophisticated, as organised criminal gangs were daily devising
new high-tech means of perpetrating fraud and other criminal
activities.
Magu said that the agency, in its quest for success, was always
ahead of the fraudsters and criminals in their activities.
