The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, on Tuesday evaded questions on the recent calls for the probe of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, for purchasing properties worth $1.5m in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

Magu was departing the Rockview Classic Hotel, in Abuja, venue of a one-day workshop on ‘Anti-corruption, ethics of the legal profession and justice sector,’ when some journalists approached him for an interview.

The event was co-organised by the Nigerian Bar Association and the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption.

Magu had adjusted himself to take questions from the journalists but as soon as the first question bordering on Buratai was asked, he sharply turned back and jumped into his waiting car.

Incidentally, while speaking earlier at the event, Magu had lamented various corrupt acts including a situation where a civil servant paid as much as over N800m as legal fee to lawyer.

Magu queried how a civil servant could have legitimately earned as much as N800m to pay a lawyer.

This came few days after some prominent legal practitioners, including Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), had urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Buratai, if the Army chief failed to voluntarily resign following the revelation that he purchased the Dubai properties.

Magu had while speaking at the event had said his commission would start going after lawyers who aid their clients in laundering money.

He said the commission would not spare anybody, including Senior Advocates of Nigeria, who were found to have helped others to buy properties with stolen funds.

Other speakers at the event included the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami; and the Chairman, PACAC, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN).

Magu said, “I don’t want to mention some of our strategies, but we will start going after people now. If you are involved in laundering money, we will go after you it doesn’t matter who you are because the law does not respect anybody – whether you are the EFCC chairman, whether you are SAN.

“Sooner or later we will look at how people assist people to buy properties with stolen funds, how people assist others to escape justice and we will go after them.

“But for now, I want to say, please, join us in the fight against corruption to save this country so that our children and grandchildren will have a greater Nigeria.”

He said the issue of human rights needed to be de-emphasised in the ongoing war against corruption, as he urged lawyers to ply their trade while placing the interest of the nation above any other consideration.

Represented by a Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the CJN said some recent events had called for self-assessment by players in the legal circles and justice system.

The CJN said, “Indeed, recent events within the profession have no doubt thrown up questions bordering on the ethical content of our profession and justice system, as well as its readiness to properly fight against corrupt practice.

“If charity, as they say begins at home, self appraisal must by necessity, start there too.

“This event calls for honest discourse and impartial considerations on a wide range of issues- legislative, fiscal, institutional and more importantly ethical, as affect the conduct of our Justice system.”

Stella Oduah should take EFCC to court. I have the right to be a signatory to my maids' account. The constitution is silent on that. It is not impersonation if the owner of the identity is aware that she owns a joint account with her employer. I am sure Stella can make that happen.

If EFCC sets a presendence that every bank account in Nigeria is now being screened and questioned, I for one will not bank in Nigeria anymore, with my ECOWAS ID, I can open account in any West African country and take my investments there. This is bad for the economy. Is 2.5 billion naira really a big sum considering our useless naira ?

This is bad. You can not come to press and mess someone's image without even establishing that the person stole your money. I know that Stella Oduah's investment in Oil and Gas business even before she went into politics was worth over 2.5billion.

This is not fair.

let me inform you. The Hague judgement was advisory; OBJ just rushed to implement it because Bakassi is not his hometown. The Greentree agreement entered between Nigeria and Cameroon allows them to choose if they would stay in Nigeria, those who remained in Cameroon were haunted and killed by the Gendarmes the once in Nigeria had no home but hunger.

wristbangle:
These people should hold Cameroon govt for their current predicament afterall they decided to path ways from been part of Nigeria several years ago.

I don't know what you gain by giving tribal coloration to crimes.
Should the state refuse to try an individual because of tribal
sentiments ?
If your answer is no, then why are you more interested in the tribe
with most cases of forgery instead of concentrating on the merits of individual
cases ?

slysteel:
You Christians are funny creatures,the pope is the number one Christian and understands that Christ will not discriminate,he mingled with prostitutes,even Mary magdalene was a prostitute,the pope understands that Christ didn't come for the righteous but rather for the sinners and how do you convert sinners to become Christians? is it by judging and chasing them away? apart from the fact that appears the age bracket on niaraland dropped from 18 for to 19 i still expect them to know what Christianity actually means,secondly i dont see how what people do in their bedroom becomes my business,people have their rights so far it doesn't infringe on mine,i noticed that this is one concept that majority of Nigerians don't understand except those who live or have lived abroad,fundamental human rights is alien to naija people.
