The acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, says that the anti-graft agency will soon start going after lawyers who aid and abet financial and economic crimes. Magu said this at the opening of a one-day workshop organised by the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) in collaboration with the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption (PACC) at the Rockview hotel in Abuja yesterday Tuesday July 12th.
A statement issued by EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren states that Magu said at the workshop that the EFCC could not stamp out corruption in the country without the support of all stakeholders.
Quote
“We
consider everybody a stakeholder, as the EFCC does not have monopoly of
knowledge to defeat all shades of graft. We will not stop going after
people who are involved in laundering money. It doesn’t matter who you
are, the law is a respecter of nobody especially those who commit crime.
Whether you are EFCC, SAN or whatever, sooner or later we will start
going after people who buy properties with stolen funds as well as
people who help others to escape justice"
he said
