The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has declared that the war against corruption has just begun.

He stated this Monday during an ineractive session with online journalists in Lagos, southwest Nigeria.

According to Magu, nothing will be left to chance in bringing corrupt elements to justice, whether the persons are highly placed or not, adding that the extent of the looting of the nation’s treasury was mind numbing.

On whether former president Goodluck Jonathan would be invited over the Dasuki arms scandal, he said Jonathan has not been invited because memos and documents regarding the disbursement of the $2.1 billion indicate that the money was not approved for political campaign.

He said Jafar Isa who was arrested recently for receiving N170 million from former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), has refunded N100 million and signed an undertaking to refund the balance.

He said in spite of the refund, Isa would still be prosecuted.

Magu also said Olisa Metuh, the National Publicity Secretary of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said he would rather go on hunger strike than refund the N400 million he allegedly collected from Dasuki.

At the event it was also revealed that Patrick Akpobolokemi, former boss of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, was re-arrested recently outside the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, after new evidences of alleged embezzlement of N34.5 billion and another N600 million were linked to him when he was in charge of the maritime agency.

He was said to have jumped bail and the lawyer who stood surety for him had to be arrested in his place until his rearrest outside the court in Lagos after he resisted their directives to return with them to the EFCC office.

Magu said it was most unfortrunate for anyone to say that the war aginst graft was selective, adding that his agency is not teleguided in the ongoing anti-corruption fight.

He said EFCC cases drag in court because of many cour applications, adding that “when a politician steals N10 billion, he keeps N5 billion for litigation. He hires Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs). Judges accuse us of not conducting thorough investigation in order to compromise.”

He said the anti-corruption war was a collective war and advised the media to join EFCC to fight the war whose victory would be for the benefit of the next generation.

That ex-maritime boss jumped bail just like that? Good for his bloody lawyer. He must stand-in in jail for the accused. Big lesson for all those lawyers backing corrupt politicians.

Yes

Amazing comment

Those that ate from Dasuki's restaurant and other yam eaters should beware!

We are fully behind u
Na only the witch go fear the hunter

Like u are a saint...

Mr Magu I commend ur effort so far....But I just want to ask why Jafar Isa was granted bail when the cash he collected is not yet complete, secondly, the man is corrupted why not jail him like U did to Olisa Metuh or are Apc members different from Pdp members in dis Dasuki's arm deal?

when we see evidence we will believe.
when we see that you are not selective and obey the rules of law,then we will praise you.

Hmmmmmm. Some Wailers would be shitting in their pants

I will take buhari anti graft war serious when Tinubu,fashola and amaechi are arrested and detained like other of his enemies.Not just that,they should be prosecuted as well.

Jail them all!

When innocent Nigerians were stampeded because of a greedy minister who collected money from applicants (the more the merrier) their 'Hero' could not even force him to resign because stealing is not corruption. Gang of thieves!
Even the 'hero' should not be exempted if a case can be established against him.
Nigeria got here because people dont pay for their crimes. Make them pay, that's the change we voted for.

El Rufai can't match this magu

and we are all observing.......

The only magu that doesn't believe in magu-magu

I sense special treatment for Jonathan. Only a dumb person would believe he had no hands in this. So everyone else shared the loot, yet GEJ's memos only talked about purchasing arms with the money and not campaign funding?

REMINDS ME OF OUR NYSC CDS SLOGAN
ANTI CORRUPTION! ! CORRUPTION MUST DIE!!

This efcc guy seems strict n ready to do his job but until i see ameachi and co. He's been selective i wish him the best though
