Why EFCC Is Prosecuting Naira Marley – Magu by Freddyw(op): 5:27am On May 23, 2019
Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday spoke on prosecution of popular musician, Afeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley.


A statement by EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade, quoted Magu as saying Naira Marley was picked up over internet fraud charges and not because he is a musician.

He said: “Let me use this opportunity to emphasize that we have no issues with any member of this very important sector of the country.


“I have said it in the past and I will also like to restate, that the EFCC does not go after any innocent person. Our mandate is to rid Nigeria of any form of economic and financial crimes, and internet fraud is not excluded.

“There is always intelligence report that our officers get and investigate before effecting a warrant of arrest, and we don’t arrest innocent people”.

He noted that the concern for the increasing cases of internet fraud, prompted him early in the year, to constitute a Task Team given the task to stem the tide of internet fraud in the country.

“This Task Team has since swung into action, and the outcome of what you have is the increasing cases and report of EFCC operatives rounding up internet fraudsters across the country,” he added.

He, however, noted with concern that “I don’t like arresting them, but what can we do, we have to do our job.

“While I restate our commitment to continue the intensity of rounding up internet fraudsters, I strongly urge you all to join hands with the EFCC to promote the culture and gospel of hard work with dignity”.

The above has always been my prayer.

It is very painful to lose your money, I have lost mine to them before so I understand how painful it is.

Most of the unscrupulous elements supporting these fraudsters are yet to get a befitting treatment from them, I am sure when they do, the narrative will change.

One of the most ridiculous things I have heard in this country, is the argument that Internet fraudsters should be left alone because politicians steal money, or the fraudsters are only taking back what belongs to us. This narrative shows how deeply messed up this country is, and how people no longer take pride in doing the right thing.

This is how people applauded kidnapping about a decade ago because the White Expatriate workers in Nigeria were the major victims. Now we kidnap one another, even new born babies that are fellow compatriots, the whole country is now living in fear.

Evil should be condemned no matter how little or harmless it appears.

This man if found guilty, should be sent to jail for a long time so others can learn. Giving these people six months or one year jail term is not enough.

Keep up the good job sir.

We hope all the criminals online that the boy is a role model to read this.
Lazy youths that are not ready to hustle legit anymore.

I so much like his statement:

"I strongly urge you all to join hands with the EFCC to promote the culture and gospel of hard work with dignity”.

Sir, what do you have for Governors who do not value hard work, labour dignity by refusing to pay workers salaries...., if you don't get my point ask Governor Amosun and his colleagues who are owing workers

Just collect all the things he has and leave him to nothing after 7years of imprisonment with hard labour. I'm pretty sure his brains would reset after that seven years. He's just been stupid and prolly the hard drugs......

Seriously, the problem i have with this alapamasise idiots is that they oppress legitimate hustlers like they are some bunch of idiots. The culture of get rich quick is now on everyone's head. Clamp all of them down abeg, otoge!
