Oluwatoyin Ojaomo, the lawyer of the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, has said the forces behind corruption in Nigeria are more powerful than Covid-19.

Ojaomo said this on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme on Monday while reacting to the investigation of Magu by a Presidential panel.

The lawyer said his client was under probe because the recoveries he announced publicly and the funds remitted to the government’s coffers did not correspond.

He said the funds remitted were more than the monies declared.

Ojaomo said, “When you are fighting corruption, the forces behind corruption are so powerful; they are more powerful than Covid-19. You can imagine what is happening. Instead of Magu to be celebrated, those powerful corrupt persons who have the media backing them are trying to call a dog a bad name so they can hang it.”

The lawyer said asset recovery was a continuous process and as such there would always be discrepancies in figures.

Also speaking, activist Auwal Musa aka Rafsanjani, said Magu’s experience has again shown the need for a legal framework on asset recovery and management.

Rafsanjani, who is the Head, Transparency International, said if Magu is humiliated, it could also discourage those who are genuinely dedicated to the fight against corruption.

“I don’t think it is a good development for persons who are fighting corruption to be framed,” he said.

“Instead of looking at Magu, we should look at the legal and institutional deficits in the area of recovery,” he added.

Hmmm

When you are in a very sensible position that is fighting against corruption, you must be accurately accountable without any doubt on your integrity and honesty
Let's see what the probe will end up with.

Corruption In The Nigeria System Is A Dangerus Virus.

That's true.

another gibberish from a deranged zombie,corruption did not cause CORONA again?

Magu does not know simple mathematics again?
But in the news, it states otherwise of his arrest.

Nna men!

Few days ago it was Hushpuppi. Since yesterday morning it has been Magu...

Nna men!
Who or what will trend next. Nigeria is a country of one week, one headline. No movement. Everybody n everywhere stagnant.

Nna men!
Today is Tuesday. No market. Let me go n buy bread n ewa agoin n eat first.

What can a niggah do?

No force is behind any corruption, same media trial Magu deployed to try others is being used against him.
