The acting chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim
Magu yesterday said more influential people will
be arrested soon.
A statement by EFCC spokesperson Wilson
Uwujaren said “more influential Nigerians are on
the radar of the EFCC and, in the coming weeks,
they would have their days in court and Nigerians
will be kept fully abreast of the results of the
commission’s investigations.”
“Mr. Magu made this assertion at a meeting with
online media practitioners and broadcast media
managers in Abuja yesterday,” the statement
said.
“Apart from bringing corrupt public officers to
justice, we are determined, in line with the stance
of the current administration, to send an
unmistakable message to everyone, that no
Nigerian shall be regarded as being above the law
or treated as a sacred cow as far as the fight
against corruption is concerned,” he said.
The EFCC chief said he re-ordered the priorities of
the EFCC and he finds inspiration in the
unbending will of the president to fight corruption.
Speaking on the perceived imbalance nature of
the arrests made so far, Magu said “such
accusations have come up a lot, but we work with
petitions before us. In fact, I am eager and
waiting for something from the other side, but
nothing has come so far.”
