Banks and their officials who helped in concealing stolen funds will soon have their day in court, the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, said on Tuesday. He said it was unfortunate that some banks encouraged looting by creating an “enabling environment” for it. “The banking sector is creating a fertile ground for corruption,” the EFCC chairman said. Magu spoke in Lagos during an interactive session with the commission’s external lawyers and civil society organizations. He said it was as if the banks were telling looters: “Go and steal and I’ll hide it for you,” adding that must stop. “We’ll zoom in on the banks. We need to stop them from creating an enabling environment for corruption to thrive,” he said. Speaking with journalists on whether the commission would invite wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, for questioning over the $15,591,700 she claims belongs to her, Magu said investigation was ongoing. “We are on it. You see, we work for the long-term. We must complete out preliminary investigations before we come out,” he said. Magu told the forum that EFCC sometimes spends up to nine months investigating a case before inviting suspects for questioning, adding that no one who has stolen public funds would be spared. “We’ll not spare anybody. We can’t protect anyone from answering to the people. Determination is key. I believe we’ll go a long way, and that our tomorrow will be better than our today,” he said. The EFCC chairman said the commission did not characterize all lawyers as “rogues,”saying the statement was misinterpreted.

You will soon drink Abiola tea. Remember, you still have "Acting" in front of your title.

Nigeria progressing



EFCC tackling


Buhari cleaning the country

Banks will fold up , and CEOs Chairmen ,MD's will loose their jobs

I'll take the EFCC and APC led government seriously when the likes of Obasanjo and Amaechi are invited for questioning.

Mouthed!

this Efcc should not be selective in this fake corruption fight.

Strong allegation with evidence surfaced today that Buhari's chief of staff collected #500million from mtn in order to reduce their fine.

Until now they are dump and deaf as if they have not heard about it.

but to say it's Governor wike or PEJ, they will rush and froze their accounts.

Even the International community knows that This their Anti corruption fight is a well thought SCAM.

Until Efcc arrest Abba kayri, Amachi, Aishaliburton and Brutai, then many will take them serious.

Let the Change begins with them.

God will see us through... amen.

Stealing is now corruption, I know some gullible ones will say witch hunting.

noise makers

Tinubu paper and EFCC working together, continue this trial on the pages of Newspapers, we shall see how it will end GW

Are u afraid

God bless you EFCC!!!

Remain resolute in your duty no matter whose ox is gored.

Do not give attention to wailers, they generally don't mean well for the country. Our progress is their sadness!

He has said his piece

All those bankers using fine ladies to woo customers and set outrageous targets gotta stop

Magu is coming for your ...........

EFCC sef, dem too talk, just go after the banks must you announce it. Una go see as some banks go start to cover their tracks.

Where is that Dubai Landlord??

It seems the yard-stick for fighting corruption is this "change era" is adjustable.

Buhari's govt talkative nature is part of the things stemming our current recession. From we will deploy 10 thousand soldiers to the Niger delta to We shall crush the creeks and now this .do the realise that they can deploy 10,000 soldiers to the ND without heating up the already poor economy ,they can pick up bank workers without such brazen statement that only send unnecessary panic into the already badly damaged banking system . Buhari and his team need to learn a lot

I don't like commenting on Noise making threads like this.
