"Former Ministers & Governors Will Be Arrested"- EFCC Boss Ibrahim Magu by AnnaKareninaFan: 6:52pm On Jan 06, 2016
The Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission( EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, today, said more influential Nigerians will face prosecution as the anti-graft agency during his tenure is bent of fighting corruption to a standstill in Nigeria. Magu made this disclosure during a forum with online and broadcast media managers, in Abuja.




According to him, “The effect of this, which is obvious for all to see, is the investigation, arrest and prosecution of some of the most powerful forces in Nigeria, who have questions to answer on their stewardship whilst in office. A former National Security Adviser, former ministers, former governors, serving and retired military men, a media mogul and several others, are among those we have called to answer critical questions concerning the management of our commonwealth.



"As we speak, many more influential Nigerians are on the radar of the EFCC and, in the coming weeks, they would have their days in court and Nigerians will be kept fully abreast of the results of our investigations.” Magu further said he is carrying out the mandate of the commission, which is guided by the “fear of God, national interest and the rule of law”.



Magu added that, “By far more inspirational is the political will of Mr. President to fight corruption. This unbending will, which some now call body language has given the needed traction to the anti-graft campaign. We believe that when holistically and effectively put into practice, the measures would drastically cut the time corruption cases spend in court before Nigerians know whether the accused is guilty as charged or innocent of the crime.



“As a Commission, the EFCC is very determined to put into productive effect, the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, (ACJA), 2015. This law, which has been rightly labeled a legal “revolution,” by none other than Professor Itse Sagay, chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, could not have come at a better time than now, when Nigerians are yearning for justice.



“On the part of the EFCC, I can assure you that the effect of our even more penetrating investigations and commitment to rid Nigeria of all forms of corruption and economic and financial crimes can –and will continue to be– seen from the cases we take to court for trial." When asked if the agency is on a political witch hunt, Magu said, “Such accusations have come up a lot, but, we work with petitions before us, in fact, I am eager and waiting for something from the other side, but nothing has come so far.”

If at least your commission cannot secure jail time for 4 of those- you have failed.
