Paul Arkwright, British High Commissioner to Nigeria, has said that the United Kingdom, UK, will continue to support the anti-corruption crusade in Nigeria as is being spearheaded by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

“We are pleased to see how the EFCC operates, and we are assuring you of the endless support of the British government in the fight against corruption,” he said.
Arkwright, who was accompanied by Daniel Murphy, on a visit to the EFCC Headquarters, Abuja, commended the Commission’s efforts in ridding the country of corruption.

“The UK and Nigeria have evolved and made progress in the fight against corruption, and the EFCC’s achievements have been impressive,” he added.

He urged the EFCC to work hand in hand with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in ensuring a free and fair political process, in the buildup to the 2019 elections.

He said: “INEC and EFCC should be there to preserve the integrity of the political process, including taking forward investigations without any prejudice on one side or the other, following the evidence and taking action where it is justified.”

He further gave assurances of the British government’s support “both in technical assistance, in investigation and of course broadening support of this great independent institution of the EFCC.”
Ibrahim Magu, the acting EFCC Chairman, appreciated the British government for its support, and assured him of the independence of the EFCC in the discharge of its mandate.

He said: “I assure you that there is no political interference in what we do. We will continue to work with stakeholders like INEC who we have an agreement with to ensure that there is no interference to ensure free and fair election in Nigeria and we will stop people using money to buy votes”.

According to him, the EFCC operates international best practices, and “does diligent preliminary investigation”.
H“We do not invite anybody here if he is not found to be involved in one offence or crime and that is why when you come here, it takes a lot of effort to be off the chain whatever case that comes to EFCC is investigated to the logical conclusion. We take the case to court who gives the final decision”, he added

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday arraigned one Philemon Gora in a Federal High Court, Abuja for allegedly operating a bank without a valid license.



EFCC operatives
Gora was arraigned along with his company, Cash Flow Global Fund Investment on a two-count charge of operating a bank without license and consenting to carrying out banking business without a valid license.


“”That you Philemon Gora, knowingly consented to the carrying on of banking business without a valid license issued to the company.

“You thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 49(1) of the Banks and other Financial Institutions Act and punishable under Section 2 of the same act,’’ one of the charges read.

Gora pleaded not guilty to the charges stressing, “I am not guilty because I have a valid license’’.

Following an oral application for bail by his counsel, Mr Alex Marema, the judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu admitted him to bail in the sum of N10 million with two sureties in like sum.


The sureties, the judge said must be officers, not below grade level 16 and must be resident within the jurisdiction of the court.

The judge said the sureties should deposit their two recent passport photographs with the court.

The prosecuting counsel, Mr G.K. Latona had objected to the oral application for bail on the ground that the defendant, having stated in the dock that he had a valid license, would continue to operate the bank if granted bail.

Latona also told the court that over 60 million Nigerians were customers of the bank with over N2 billion in the bank.

The judge however said that she was mindful to grant Gora bail because she understood his statement that he had a valid license to mean that he was not guilty of the charge and not otherwise.

She said that she considered the oral application for bail of the accused in the interest of justice taking into cognisance the coming public holiday.

She adjourned the matter until Oct. 2 and Oct. 10 for commencement of trial
