Chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has promised to arrest more
ex-officials of the former administration under President Goodluck Jonathan
before May 29, reports ITRealms.
He said that EFCC has investigating
of high-profile evidence before it and therefore collating necessary supporting
proof.
Speaking to the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) Hausa service in London at the weekend, Mr. Magu said “Anybody
that is involved in this scandal, we will invite him. It is only that we have
to first establish our evidence.Anybody who is guilty, I swear, we will summon
him wherever he is.”
The EFCC chairman also explained
that“Anybody that we invited, we must have finished with our background study
on him.We spend not just days for the background work but months until we
establish the case before we issue invitation. That is why none of the people
we invited has come out clean.Whoever stole public funds and we establish our
evidence, I’m telling you we will invite him, without cover. That is how the
work is. We compile dossiers of proofs and facts before we invite.”
On amount recovered by the EFCC
under him, Magurefused to disclose, insisting that “Because of what is going
on, I can’t tell you the exact amount we have recovered so far. But we are
still collecting the monies.I can’t tell you for now, but what we have
recovered within this period alone, was never recorded since the establishment
of the EFCC in 2003,” he said.
He maintained that what EFCC has
recovered is way beyond that figure, insisting that he will not let the cat out
of the bag yet.
“I don’t want to let it out now. On
29th May, we will disclose every detail and Nigerians will know what we have
done”, he said.
