Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has said the commission intervened in the general elections to prevent the moneybags from determining the emergence of irresponsible politicians at the polls.

Magu stated this yesterday in Kampala, Uganda, during the ongoing Ninth Commonwealth Regional Conference for Heads of Anti-Corruption Agencies in Africa.

He disclosed that the agency secured 189 convictions in 2017 and recovered N437 billion, $98 million €7 million and £294,000 respectively.

On inter-agency relationships, Magu said: “The EFCC consistently strives to assist other government agencies in tackling corruption. This quest in 2018 saw the commission assist the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to recover N6.3b in unremitted tax revenues.


“It equally assisted in the recovery of N542m for the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON). The Commission recovered N1.6b; N1.76b and N1.030b for AMCON, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and FIRS from January to April, 2019.”

In his paper titled: Creative Initiatives In The Fight Against Corruption In Nigeria, Magu noted that the EFCC’s intervention during the Presidential and National Assembly elections of March 9 and the gubernatorial and states Assembly polls on March 23 paid off with positive results.

He disclosed that huge cash in different denominations were seized from politicians and their associates, adding that arrested perpetrators of voters inducement were being prosecuted, just as a councilor from Gombe State has been convicted.

“For the first time in the history of electioneering in Nigeria, operatives of the Commission were deployed to monitor polling stations and collation centres to discourage vote buying.

“The efforts culminated in some cash seizure and arrests. Some of those arrested have been prosecuted and convicted. The presence of EFCC operatives, according to some of the election monitors, was a major deterrence to dubious politicians and their associates,” he stated.

Trash.

But a video of bullion van entering a compound of a particular drug baron surfaced online, and you acted blind bartimaeus.

Nonsense and ingredients.

In Nigeria, we practice selective justice.

Magu is a terrible liar, like his superiors.

Hope convictions were made in the north, cos that's where its easy to buy conscience during elections, just give them one k and boom you go just back their PVC

Okay we have heard

Why didn't they seize Tinubu's bullion van?

The efforts culminated in some cash seizure and arrests. Some of those arrested have been prosecuted and convicted. The presence of EFCC operatives, according to some of the election monitors, was a major deterrence to dubious politicians and their associates,” he stated.

Keep up the good job Mr Magu.
Sane Nigerians are behind you solidly.

You didn't seize the hugest cash from Tinubu and his associates, you didn't prosecute them... so shutup

tizzle:
Why didn't they seize Tinubu's bullion van?

EFCC spent taxpayers' money to deploy drones in order to catch politicians carrying money inside poly bags while they ignored overwhelming evidence of bullion vans carrying money into Tinubu's house which he did not deny. And the same Timubu still call some people corrupt.

There is nothing this APC had accused PDP of in the past that they have not done in multiple fold.

Meanwhile, Nigerians are still waiting to see those that would be prosecuted based on the Volume 1 of the Arms Funds Probe Panel report

Insanity runs in your blood surely. When will they recover Ganduje dollars, Tinubu Bullion vans, Yaya Bellos loots etc. You guys are nothing but losers and haters. The next government will come in and then we realize how much of our national cakes has been swallowed by these mofos in govt. continue living in denial

Nigerians have asked, the Senate have asked, NGOs have asked, they said they cannot say to us; but the idiot went to tell the Ugandans in kampala who didn't ask, have no stake, people you don't work for.

Is it because Ugandans cannot dispute such figures, especially if they are lies?

Who will blame him, he learnt if from Buhari, he doesn't talk, doesn't address Nigerians when critical issues arise, but he reach London Heathrow, boom people who didn't ask, who have no stake, who you don't work for, you start to tell stories.......

Who did we really offend as a Nation in the Spirit realm biko?

EFCC is too biased and partisan to be efficient or effective.

Clown.

You forgot to tell them that the bullion Vans entering Tinubu's house on election eve were carrying electoral meterials.

Agbaya..

Buhari have taught you to always talk only when outside.
