The acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has reaffirmed that the ongoing anti-corruption fight is not selective.

Magu said before anyone is arrested, the Commission would have, after a thorough investigation, established that the individual is guilty.

He stated this in Kaduna on Monday, October 24 while speaking on the sideline of the National Open Government Partnership retreat.

"We don’t just arrest somebody who has no case to answer," Magu said while urging Nigerians to see the war against corruption as a collective fight.

He added: "I’m here today because this event hás to do with transparency and accountability in governance and you should know that anything that has to do with fighting corruption is an area of interest to me.

"It’s not true that we are selective in the fight against corruption. Whoever we arrested for corruption must be guilty of it. We are also making progress in this fight even though it’s not our fight alone, it’s a fight for all of us as people of this country."

In the same vein, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has said that President Muhammadu Buhari will soon sign an executive order on transparency and efficiency in all government ministries, agencies in the country.
He said the APC-led government will stop at nothing in ensuring transparency and accountability in all public institutions across the board.

This is a clear proof that these guys are just engaging in media trial. How can Chairman of the anti graft agency of a nation make such a claim? Is he now the law? Is he the prosecutor, judge and jury at the same time? Are we in a banana republic?

Shocking statement!

Guilty even though the courts haven't pronounced the person guilty? Now you just confirmed my suspicions.....

EFCC has suddenly become the judge, pronouncing people guilty. Buhari is taking over the judiciary gradually. No wonder the recent behaviours!

he is law enforcement and judge because buhari gave him powers to do so..

EFCC forming judge and jury...

Hear rubbish Wu ever u arrested must b guilty. Na college dropout him b.

Very good of you mr MAGU, looters and dubious minded ones will soon interpret your statements in a dubious ways.

As in guilty, d court own guilty? dis country self

EFCC is now judge, jury and executioner. Once arrested u must be guilty hence the attempt for maximum damage at all times through the press yet they have been unable to prove that guilt before any competent court of law. Why charge anyone to court then? They should just arrest and sentence willy nilly so we know that they are 'pightin kwarrapshin'!

Una see say this fight against corruption na voodoo? Just designed to excite simpletons and zombies that lurk around...

Magu has missed he's menstrual cycle. Can someone help?

That's what you get when you put abokki zomana into positions of authority. These cows in human skin are renowned for their extremism in everything. Abokki armed robbers and kidnappers are the most ruthless and vicious - they don't know the boundaries between robbing/kidnapping for monetary gains and killing for the sheer wantonness of it.

Same applies when these maloo people are in government and the security agencies. Everything must be Kai Kai, go go, do do, arrest arrest, jail jail, kill kill. No awareness of procedures, no caution, no, restraint.... No gaddem sense.

God forbids. I spit on them. We shouldn't be in the same country as these animals.

Yet ALL you arrested are oppositional who speaks up against Buhari tyranny.

Oh till date, not ONE single convictions despite un as "arrest" of "must be guilty" people.

Who the f2k una think you're playing.

Tell the dictator that some of us sees through the crap he's sellimg. We all not as gullible as Northerners and southwestern

The man appears to be saying since Judges will very almost never find them guilty, it is up to EFCC to do their job beyond reasonable doubt before arresting anyone.

No wonder anti graft war have been an abysmal failure in Nigeria.

No wonder Dasuki is already serving life imprisonment pronounced by Justice Buhari & Juror Magu.

The Idiocy of these ppl is amazing 2 me.

That reminds me of d man they arrest in Abuja only for them 2 release d dead body 2 family after knowing his innocent efcc is as useless as bubuhari

Prosecutor magu,
Plaintiff magu,
Judge magu.

This is the pure hausa/fulani feudal way of understanding justice system. Stone age and unprogressive people that we yorubas want to die licking their anus.

Lol Must? O Di Egwu
