Magu: There are corrupt elements in EFCC

The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, admitted that there is corruption in the EFCC. Magu, who said this during a chat with journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, revealed that the EFCC recovered about N434bn between January and August 2017.

To buttress his point that there were corrupt elements in the anti-corruption agency, Magu said the EFCC had recently dismissed nine cadet officers for certificate forgery while some other operatives were facing trial for corruption.

He added, “The internal affairs department in the EFCC looks at issues of professional misconduct of operatives in the EFCC. Internal affairs investigate unethical conducts by our men and the internal affairs is in charge of screening prospective employees of the EFCC. The sum total of all the cash if converted into naira amounts to N434 Bn.
