Interpol Recommends EFCC As Africa’s Model In Anti-Corruption War

Secretary General of Interpol, Jurgen Stock, has commended the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for its efforts in
fighting corruption in Nigeria and also assured the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, of support at the international
level.

Stock, who led a delegation of the Interpol to the EFCC
Headquarters, on Friday, expressed satisfaction at the efforts of
the anti-graft agency under the leadership of Ibrahim Magu, the
acting EFCC Chairman.

“I am delighted to be here and it’s mainly an opportunity to
thank the Government and the EFCC for its cooperation,” he
said.

While emphasizing the need to understand the global directions
of organized crimes, Stock stated that “the world is taking
advantage of globalization to commit crime and it’s a threat to all
Nations”.

“Interpol is committed to supporting the EFCC, and indeed, other
agencies to build global security architecture and ensure that
adequate information is made available amongst other infrastructure
to support the Commission,” he said.

Stock also commended the work of the Commission and recommended
it as model for the African continent.

He added that: “We understand your needs and we will see where
we can come in and unite forces to fight against the Global
phenomenon of crime”.

On his part, Magu, who expressed great delight at the visit,
commended Stock for finding time out of his busy schedule as the
Secretary General of Interpol.

“The EFCC has always had a good rapport with the Interpol and
have always enjoyed collaboration with the organization especially
in the area of information sharing,” he said.

While advocating for a borderless platform to further support
efficiency in information sharing culture, Magu called for more
collaboration with the Interpol, which has 192 member states as it
was essential for the effective operation of the EFCC.

Other members on the Interpol entourage are Olusola K. Subair,
Head of Interpol Nigeria; Kedji Marallin Abbe, Head, Interpol,
Regional Bureau for West Africa; Bankola Lanre, Deputy Head,
Interpol Nigeria; Ahmed Kontogora, Regional Bureau of Interpol,
West Africa and Ifeanyi Henry, Interpol Nigeria.
