EFCC Chair Magu Meets UAE Envoy, Seeks To Tighten Noose Around Money Launderers by Ovularia: 7:56pm On Feb 03, 2016
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK FEB 03, 2016
Barely two weeks after President Muhammadu Buhari signed a Mutual Legal Assistance agreement with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to facilitate the repatriation of stolen funds and the extradition of indicted officials, the boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, on Wednesday called for the support of the international community.

The Acting Chairman of the EFCC made the remark during a visit to the UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, Mahmud Muhammad Al- Mahmud in his office in Abuja.

“The fight against graft requires the collaborative support of all and sundry, most especially the international community, for it to be won”, Magu said.

The EFCC boss called for the strengthening of the existing relationship between Nigeria and the UAE, with a view to effectively tackling corruption within the African continent.

According to the EFCC boss, the present administration in Nigeria is poised to recover the nation’s commonwealth that was looted and laundered in foreign countries by corrupt elements. He said the commission has intelligence that the UAE is considered a safe haven by corrupt politically exposed persons in Nigeria.

“I have come to seek your support and cooperation just as we had in the case of Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha, James Ibori, among others to get the mission accomplished”, Magu pleaded.

Responding, Mr. Al- Mahmud, pledged the support of his country to Nigeria’s anti-graft war.

“No country can be an island on its own without the support of others,” he noted.

I like this Magu! This guy even appears more "unbendable" than PMB. He is looking like a vice presidential material by 2023 by each passing day.
