The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Acting
Chairman Ibrahim Magu has said the commission is not selective in
its fight against corruption in the country.
He explained that majority of the people accusing the commission
of being selective in fight against corruption were the most
corrupt individuals in the country.
The Acting Chairman further explained that most of the
suspected corrupt individuals arrested by the commission had never
denied their involvement in the allegations against them.
Represented by the commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, at
the 15th Anti-Corruption Situation Room, organized by Human
Environment Development Agenda, HEDA, in Kaduna, he said the
commission was apolitical.
“What is selective about EFCC? Have you seen anybody arrested by
EFCC that didn’t know anything about the allegations against him?
Have you seen one? What they will always say is that we are going
after them because they are either APC or PDP.
“But for us, whether you are in Party A or B, it’s in-material
because as you committed a crime, you should be prepared to answer
for your crime without considering your political affiliation.
“So, those who are making allegations of selectivity are
actually the corrupt people who want to divert attention. This is
why I’m making this clarification that EFCC is not selective, ” he
said.
