The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, during the week shocked the world to reveal the illicit roles being played by legal practitioners to aid the political class in defrauding the nation.
Addressing delegation of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) who paid him a courtesy visit, Magu said unprofessional conducts of some lawyers is giving the NBA a bad name.
He said, “Society is not served when prominent members of the bar not only take clearly tainted briefs, but even facilitate the commission of crimes by knowingly supplying the technical knowhow and later, helping in the dispersal of the proceeds of crime.
“There are lawyers within the fold of the NBA who ought not to be among your noble ranks.
“Those people are not fit to be called ministers; rather, they are vandals of the temple of justice,” he alleged.

Consequently, he charged NBA to join hands with the commission to stamp out corruption in the country.
He also decried the practice by some members of the NBA who he said were aiding individuals and corporate organizations to perpetrate economic and financial crimes, stating that the input of lawyers would be needed to successfully wage the war against fraud, corruption and money laundering.

“Law enforcement, just as the judiciary, encompassing the bar and the bench, is a critical link in the justice delivery system of any society. I dare say that even when opinions and tactics differ, the interest of the two blocs cannot but converge on the overriding interest of the people,” he said.

Magu, who stated that no other anti-graft agency in Nigeria had beaten the record of the EFCC in the areas of prosecutions and convictions, further described the ordinary Nigerian as the victim of money laundering, embezzlement, diversion of funds and frauds.
He, therefore, urged them to share in the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption, while also congratulating the body for supporting the EFCC over the years.
Earlier, the president of NBA, Augustine Alegeh, expressed the reason behind the courtesy visit, saying that it was to salute the courage of Magu in the corruption war.
Mr. Alegeh, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, also said the EFCC and NBA needed to work in synergy for the war against corruption to be won.
