Nigeria’s anti-graft agency has deleted the tweet in which it claimed the agency’s boss Ibrahim Magu never said corruption caused coronavirus.
“This information is false and misleading,” the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said while reacting to The Cable report about the Magu’s remark.The EFCC boss said the deadly virus, which has killed over 2000 people, was caused by corruption. “I strongly believe, your excellency, that even coronavirus is caused by corruption. Fighting corruption is like a crusade against the evils in our society,” he said.
Before deleting the tweet, EFCC said Magu statement was misrepresented, claiming that the EFCC boss only said that “tackling corruption is a clarion call, given that corruption is a huge burden to the nation. It is worse than cancer, Ebola virus, coronavirus and all other deadly diseases put together.”But denial fell flat in the face of overwhelming video evidence and the agency did not offer any apologies to The Cable, whose report it wrongly described as “misleading” and “false”.
Smh!
Well, I was willing to give the gentleman the benefit of doubt but following the reaction of the agency he heads, benefit of doubt removed!
What?
It is quite disappointing that despite the outburst of people against the comment, the officialEFCC boss could not apologise for this international embarrassment. Even international media are reporting it. Its a shame.
