Magu wants to turn EFCC to bounty hunters...

MadCow1:
I concur..


But it should be handed to them via the proper channels.. Menaing they recover the loot, account for their recovery to the Finance Ministry or whoever is in charge and then it is given to them from the top.

Same for the Police. They should be allowed to keep a percentage of monies the recover from Tickets, fines and the likes..

nateevs:


No it doesn't and shouldn't work that way. This is why there is a budget. We don't deny the Magu-led agency deserves more funding but it should receive any funds from its own official finance channels, after spending proposals have been duly received, analyzed and approved.

To create a direct funding system from the loot recovered is capable of creating conflict of interest across all levels of the agency. And we certainly don't want that.

It is done almost everywhere, in the Us the DEA, FBI and CIA do it, even on the streets sef the principle of "Eye way see" applies

elfmann:

Do u think it is govt fund they recover in d US and UK?

Viccur:
Another looting strategy to reloot the already looted loots. Keep on looting the loots

The guy eye don red. Na so e take start. From %age to half to full and then off record.

Why is this man seeking a percentage when there is annual budgetary provisions for the agency?

freeze001:
Apart from the clear loophole retaining a percentage of recovered proceeds of crime will create, the idea of requiring an accused person to bear the burden of proof means that the EFCC is not prepared to do its work anymore. It means any person can be picked up, have his business and other sources of income and deposits frozen until he can tell the EFCC the source. That will amount to witch hunting and victimisation. If they are too lazy to do their investigative work and collect credible evidence with which to nail any suspect, they should be disbanded, no need to constitute a drain on public resources and still keep searching for statutory escape routes from responsible diligence in their work.

An angry toaster working or with a contact in EFCC can decide to haul in a high class babe that makes her money from being a call girl for instance, that has refused to give into his advances and then proceed to incapacitate her because the duty is on her to prove her source of income. She is no criminal but she will be subjected to public disdain and marginalisation because of her line of work.

I also hate this idea that the basis of making certain laws would be because it is supposedly obtainable in other climes without context and availability or existence of similar circumstances. Yet they will not say let them operate our hospitals and the health industry for instance, the way it is done in that UK he is calling. Nothing to benefit the masses and actually put more money in the hands of ordinary Nigerians is considered as they exist in the UK. When it comes to more avenues for theft and provision of tools for oppression, they start making obscure references to UK and US and co! Nonsense people!

Charly68:
Does the EFCC act support that? In any case it is going to be a good incentive for the outfit. The Govt can even ask them to be financing themselves through commission received from loot recovery.

No, that would be a bad idea. It will turn them into zombies and they will start framing innocent citizens to get money from them.
