and abet financial and economic crimes. Magu said this at
the opening of a one-day workshop organised by the Nigeria
Bar Association (NBA) in collaboration with the Presidential
Advisory Committee against Corruption (PACC) at the
A statement issued by EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren
states that Magu said at the workshop that the EFCC could
not stamp out corruption in the country without the support of
all stakeholders.
“We consider everybody a stakeholder, as the EFCC
does not have monopoly of knowledge to defeat all
shades of graft. We will not stop going after people
who are involved in laundering money. It doesn’t
matter who you are, the law is a respecter of nobody
especially those who commit crime. Whether you are
EFCC, SAN or whatever, sooner or later we will start
going after people who buy properties with stolen
funds as well as people who help others to escape
justice"he said.
