The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says some of its officials are currently being investigated for corruption in various courts across Nigeria.
Mr Ibrahim Magu, disclosed this at an interactive session recently.
“Recently, we had to discharge about nine cadet officers because they have problem with their certificates from various institutions.
“We are also prosecuting a lot of officers. Some of them are already in court.
“There is a way you can help us. Just like you can help us with information regarding corrupt practices outside the EFCC, and proceeds of corruption, you can also assist in giving us the information.
“But, I assure you, I do not tolerate, I won’t condone any act of corruption in the EFCC.
“ I cannot be everywhere but I am telling you I don’t spare any allegation no matter how little, we make sure we investigate.
“No allegation against the EFCC personnel is left uninvestigated. Even if there is allegation against me, we will refer it to the appropriate authority to investigate.’’
“Nobody will claim ownership, nobody has a better knowledge than the other person, nobody has a monopoly of knowledge in the fight against corruption.“We need everybody on board now that the fight against corruption is getting tougher. I have been in this business for a very long time; it has never been this tough like now.
“Some of us feel that it is our generation that caused corruption. So, we have a responsibility to clear the debt.
“Please don’t get tired because it is about Nigeria, it is not about individuals. All of us have a responsibility to God Almighty to fight corruption.
“Let us double our efforts. From the way we are going, they have already failed. It is almost half won, but we must sustain the momentum.’’
