A Citizen's Letter To Magu (acting EFCC Chair) by Veducci: 12:28am On Apr 15, 2017
LETTER TO THE EFCC ACTING CHAIRMAN.






By Ifeoma Ojukwu.





Sir,
This letter is necessitated by issues of urgent
national importance, so permit me to jump
protocols and get straight to the point. And I
assume your permission to pay you the courtesy
of being blunt.
You, Mr Ibrahim Mustafa Magu, are a national
disaster as EFCC chairman. The anti-graft agency
under your leadership has turned to one hell of an
entertainment industry. You are now like a mad
king who is dancing naked in the market square
and being cheered by a large horde of idiots
masquerading as his subjects. The tragedy of the
situation of this mad king is that he is mistaking
the cheers from the crowd as appreciation of his
dancing steps but in reality, it is the big size of
his manhood dangling in between his leg the
dumb crowd is cheering.
Dear Mr Magu, your anti-graft war is a sham. A
farce. A joke and one hell of a terrible lie. In fact,
I'm left wondering if it wasn't your so called anti-
graft war Shakespeare's tragic character,
Macbeth, was referring to when he talked about a
tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, yet
signifying nothing.
Just few weeks ago, you appeared before the
Senate for your confirmation hearing but when
asked how much the EFCC under you has
recovered so far, you looked the Senate in the
face and responded "I don't know".
How can you claim you are recovering monies
without knowing the amount you've recovered so
far? If you don't know such a basic thing as how
much you've recovered so far, what else can you
possibly know?? Since you don't know the amount
recovered by your agency, how will you know if
some of your operatives are helping themselves
with the money? In saner clime, sir, that dumb
answer is more than enough to disqualify you from
holding any public office even without any DSS
report. And if your employer, the president, who is
our employee, wasn't such a pathetic excuse for a
president himself, he would have sent you back to
your village.
Now, in your desperate attempt to convince
Nigerians that you are working and compel the
Senate to confirm you as the EFCC boss, you've
elevated arseholery to a national level and even
made it an official govt policy.
You now go about discovery millions and billions
of orphaned naira and dollars everywhere.
Few weeks ago, you supposedly discovered
45million naira in an open space at the Kaduna
airport. The 'corrupt' owner of the 45million simply
packaged the whole money, Nigerian naira for that
matter, and left it at the airport for you to find.
Weldone Sir!
Just few days ago, you discovered another
orphaned huge sum in a shop somewhere in
Lagos.
Still not done with your attempt to take over the
entertainment industry from Nollywood, you went
to a certain building in Ikoyi and discovered not
less than $50million that is still without owner.
You mischievousiy leaked the so called discovery
to your minions at Sahara Reporters but you
couldn't establish such a simple thing as the
owner of the said house even when every property
in Lagos is duly registered. Your whistle blower
know there was 'stolen' money at the apartment
but didn't know the owner of the said apartment
or the money. How convenient!
Let me even ask you one question: how far about
the millions discovered in the account of Stella
Odua's housemaid, millions discovered in Reuben
Abati's Ugu farm plus all the other millions and
billions you've been discovering in odd places like
pit toilet, Mama Azuka onugbu pot, etc since
2015?
Apart from gifting us with distractions from the
calamity that is our President, how many of these
so called corrupt people have you convicted in
court
Who exactly are you trying to impress by always
leaking details of your ongoing investigation to the
press??
Between convicting people on the pages of
newspaper and convicting them in the court of
law, which one are you after?
After entertaining us with how Dasuki shared
billions, how far have you gone with his trial? Have
you even established before the court that the
money Dasuki shared was from the arms fund and
not the PDP campaign fund?? After all the media
frenzy, where exactly are you with his trial?
Dear Mr Magu, let me offer you some free piece
of advice:
No reasonable person is fooled by this your 'iweta
nke a irie m ego' show. Nigeria is not made up of
over 180million Zombies. You are only deceiving
yourself with this your charade.
This is the 21st century, 2017. Everything has
gone digital. Corruption, not excluded. If you must
succed in fighting corruption, first, you must
embark on self reform and self re-orientation. The
biggest obstacle to the anti-graft war is you, Mr
Ibrahim Magu. Your method is way too archaic
and thuggish to achieve any meaningful result.
And the tragedy of it all is that some if not most
of these corrupt suspects are actually corrupt but
they always end up going scot-free because as
the prosecutor, you have repeatedly proven that
your criminal ineptitude has a NAFDAC approved
number.
You must understand that corruption is fought in
the court of law with unassailable evidence, not
on social media and on the pages of newspapers
with market place gossip, speculations and
hearsay. Corruption is fought by closing all the
loopholes that gift individuals with access to so
much money. Corruption is fought by institutions,
not individuals. So, please, stop making the EFCC
about you as a person. Stop this desperation to
secure the post of substantive EFCC chairman!
If you suspect someone of being corrupt, don't be
in a hurry to please the mob and prove that you
are working by rushing to arrest the suspect, keep
him with you and deny him access to his family
and lawyer and use your media allies to convict
him in the court of public opinion even when you
are yet to establish any case against him.
Criminal prosecution requires evidence.
Unimpeachable evidence. And when there is even
a line of unresolved argument, it is always decided
in favour of the accused.
Work more and talk less!
Stop leaking details of your own investigation to
the media. By doing so, you are simply
jeopardizing your chances of winning those cases
in court.
Stop regaling us with tales of how you found
millions and billions of orphaned naira and dollars
inside some orphaned house and shop in Lagos.
Those dollars are new and serially numbered,
tracking when and how they came into the
country shouldn't be difficult except you were
born dumb.
The whole world is watching us, my dear Magu.
Each time, you reel out bogus figures of orphaned
monies you recovered without establishing the
owner and convicting him/her in court, our friends
from outside Nigeria are left wondering whether to
pause and die laughing or die crying.......at our
gullibility as a people.
Assuming we believe some of these orphaned
monies were not planted by your agency, it is still
the height of conscientious idiocy to expect us to
roll out the drum for you simply for discovering
money. Taking possession of orphaned cash is no
achievement. Achievement is identifying the
owners of the said money, putting him/her behind
bars and taking possession of the said cash by
convincing the court that the monies actually
came from a criminal source.
I assume you are already on your way to
discovering another billions, so let me end this
here.
Accept my sincerest regard, Mr acting chairman.



Concerned citizen


Ifeoma Ojukwu.

True talk straight from the heart, but I hope she will not be arrested or treated like a traitor for saying the truth because in our great country, if you say the truth you die if you don't you still die, so my sister i am impressed with your courage. We need people like you to tell them the truth to their face. But I hope you are not a primary school teacher in Abia state because they may demote you to a cleaner. Wehdone Ma

The truth is, Nigerians are more emotional than logical. So forgetful and easy to rejoice over events a good memory should have watered down.

To me, magu is just fooling around playing to the gallery. These methods are thuggish and poor. You don't arrest people and start investigation. It's the other way round.

What has happened to Dasuki after all the craze and memes we created preempting his downfall? What about Metuh? Abati? Fani Kayode! Playing to the gallery will get you nothing.

You should win cases in court and not on social media. But Nigerians baffle me. They rejoice easily while shoving their brains behind. This is a circle. How we don't realise it is even more troublesome.
