The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, says he strongly believes coronavirus is caused by corruption.


Mr Magu said this at the passing out parade of 281 cadets of the EFCC Detective Inspector Course-5, at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, on Tuesday.

He said “Corruption is the biggest strategy to human kind. Your excellency, corruption is worse than all the diseases now running about.

“And I strongly believe, Your Excellency, that even the coronavirus is caused by corruption,” Mr Magu said.

Coronavirus, officially named COVID-19, broke out in Wuhan in Hubei province of China in December last year.

The disease has infected over 1716 medical workers in China alone and over 73,000 infected persons in 25 countries, causing not less than 1,875 deaths. Majority of the deaths are in Wuhan.

The exact cause of the disease has not been determined, neither has a cure been found.

Corruption deeply rooted

Mr Magu described the fight against corruption as a crusade against the evils in the society.


“Fighting corruption is thus a crusade against the evils of our society that are deeply rooted and threatening to consume us.

A country led by dumb fellows cannot progress.

Dumbass illiterate disgracing Nigeria.

I will be surprised if you are surprised by this. Isn't it the same Magu that was asked how he is building an anti corruption institution and he was talking about how he built a multi billion naira edifice. The man is as intelligent as most people the president has surrounded himself with
