committing economic and financial crimes in the society, we all
know that crime is inevitable in our society, but the anti-graft
agency is here to fish out the criminal elements and deal with them
according to the provisions of the laws.”

agency, Umar Muhammed, has directed that we must act according to
the provisions of the law and that is not negotiable, we will
continue to operate within the provisions of the law.
“It is my pleasure to pay you a courtesy visit, we felt
obliged to pay you a courtesy visit and identify with your good
governance, which allows the populace to enjoy the dividends of

information that will assist the commission to know the criminal

The State Governor, Abdulrazaq in his response to the
development declared his support for the anti-graft agency in the
fight against corruption.
“Is a good thing you are here I thank you for the service
you rendered for Kwara state, humanity and Nigeria as a
whole.
“EFCC is an organisation that must not be allowed to
collapse, all the stakeholders must support the commission in
achieving its mandate as regards the fight against
corruption,” he asserted.
He said “Your efforts helped us to stabilise our government,
I recall in May 2019, at the eve of the handing over of government,
when about N4b came to the account of the state government, some
corrupt government officials attempted to withdraw the money and
share it, but EFCC blocked them, we appreciate your contributions
so far,” Abdulrazaq added.
