Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja Again, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says its acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, did not say corruption caused Coronavirus otherwise known as Covid19.

Magu had been trending on social media for his speech at the Passing Out Parade of its Detective Inspector Course 5 cadets at the Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna last Tuesday.

However, in a statement titled, ‘Covid 19: Understanding what Magu said’, the EFCC said Magu only claimed that corruption is worse than cancer and coronavirus. “Fighting corruption is thus a crusade against the evils of our society that are deeply-rooted and threatening to consume us.

No He said coronavirus caused corruption

Only the video say so

Magu said corruption is the cause of corona virus. I insist.

The type of tekanology used is still not known to us. The real video will soon be out

Abi EFCC dey mad ni Are you by any chance calling Nigerians deaf ko ni yen😠😠😠 Pls spare us this nonsense, ur boss has misfired!!!!!

But what was it on the video

maybe he said Corona virus caused corruption 😂

Ok so what did he say ?

why is this shameful statement still making headlines? Nigerians knows that we are in the era of lies. let the madness continue. soon it will be over.

Anybody who lies would definitely steal!

Naija sha

Duh don't be daft. Guilty as charged.

Maybe he should undo the video na

What has he found so bad about this statement at last? He actually said it.

Coronavirus is sabotaging officialEFCC anti corruption fight

Foolishness wen trying to do damage control!

Na coronavirus cause corruption.....

Efcc is a bunch of confused being they are more confused than Nigeria

What did he say? Did he ever mention corruption?

' When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging'

Incompetent chairman. You talk before you think!!!!!

what about the video evidence?

Lol...

Explain that to zombies...

What're they insisting on, that means Nigerians are deaf right, is that what they're telling us?

EFCC please tell us that Garri is not Eba. Useless commission efcc is agent of corruption and failure

And I strongly believe that corruption is caused by coronavirus

The devil is the father of lies, and master of deception. Clowns, always clowning

This people just they play us like Joker when we know and see the truth. Fucked Nation!

Lying is also a form of corruption

Rather than say he meant it as a joke , you saying he never said it , that in itself is corruption

Lie's they should play the video again. God would judge the liar's !

Are we still on this matter? EFCC, please leave this matter and face your primary assignment.

Why is this Government so synonymous to lie..

Yes he didn’t said that corruption is caused by corona virus but he said corona virus is caused by corruption

How many times do you want to post this Shiiii. We don hear you. Post something else

We have his full video

I just watched the video again to be sure I heard correctly. He even started by saying: 'and I strongly believe your excellency, that corona virus is caused by corruption' and people clapped. Abeg who is deceiving who here? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I have the full video

officialEFCC must be corrupt for saying that. How can they say he didn't say it? So NTANewsNow now shows fake news?

Maturity has nothing to do with age but ability to take responsibility for your actions and statement Nobody is above error,instead of complicating the issue it is easier to say that was not what he meant This insisting that he didn't say it Is taking Nigerians for granted Peace!

We don hear.

You meant this is what he was meant to say but you gave him excess weed. Hence he read off script officialEFCC

Lol

But that was what we heard from his mouth na

Denying what you said on National Television is corruption 🚶🏽‍♂️

The video was nursed.

officialEFCC Pointless controversy.

officialEFCC stop lying oo😂

Didn't you see the video too? What's this nonsense?

And after they will open their mouth and tell you they are after the corrupt people in Nigeria. They will only be taken serious in this country if the Eagle starts with them. Ndi ara yi akwa😒

U self dey report the lies after u see the video? All of una nuh well.

Be like they train this apc govt with lies

And u won turn d whole citizen to pple wey no go skul bah

I think 🤔 He said the truth

This Nigeria, where what you hear isn't what it meant..... Remember the IG with.....

Pls Where is OSIBANJO our VP

The video was doctored, can't you see that the timeline is not in sync with his speech 😁

When you try to cover a lie with a lie that's when you tell lie the more We need apology not covering it Cause the video/evidence is everywhere

He said coronavirus caused corruption Ode Nation

What did he say

This is the government of liars and deceivers ,what is in the video, liar Muhammad coach them all.

Okay nah, wetin he talk?

So dumb instead of trying to deny what he said that was caught on camera, they should have tried to explain what he actually meant . Stupid people

Magu may be right on this one. 1month ago. We had about 1000 confirmed cases, almost all in Hubei province, China. Now we have a worldwide outbreak, at least 1000s of deaths, 80,000 sick. If we had 'over'reacted more in the beginning, we'd be in a better place now.

They should post a video of what mugu said.

Those who tell lies are bound to be corrupt. It's no rocket science.

So are you saying pdp doctored his voice?

And we will keep posting the video of him saying it. Until Liar Mohammed tells us its fake video

He said coronavirus caused corruption

Play your own video so Nigerians can judge.

To the contrary, Magu did actually say that corruption caused Coronavirus, Nigerians insist.

Well you guys should keep up the good work and arrest all the innocent then leave the criminals under your nose...your children suffer karma’s gonna get y’all

Magu is a stack illiterate, period!!

Maybe Coronavirus said corruption caused Magu...🙃

Na me be this abi.

But he said tho...it’s on tape. Perhaps right grammar to use were tough for him hence the miscommunication. Next time speak in Hausa we will understand. Ire o 🔑

They should post their own video to debunk it.

Hmmmm, he said Coronavirus caused Kwaraptian abi? EFCC, Yes Magu himself is a Virus in our system. MAGUNAVIRUS.

We know. We are idiots.

We too insist and very sure that he said so

That’s what we get when every organization under this administration is filled up with incompetent and clueless people from head.

He’s a bloody illiterate. EFCC and Magu should just keep quiet!

Even the few defenders and supporters of this govt have given up because of the constant ridicule and embarrassment the govt causes them. Many years now,if Nigeria remains, people will remember Buhari’s time in office as the most retrogressive of our nation’s history. Shalom!

Medicine after death

He said it so the anti corruption are liars we don't know

Lai Lai eeeee la la

If only there was no video evidence or was it doctored too

EmmyUgwuoti We. Do. Not. Care. Anymore. We've had our fun and moved on. I advice EFCC to do same no need to have a nervous breakdown over this

What did he say then?

Stay away from drugs them go say no globalcasting majorlie

This video is not doctored

Cc: channelstv,

Mugu!!!!!

We don hear am, but video sha still dey here check thecableng

ayemojubar Who cares about what they officialEFCC insists on now? They should go to hell for ought we care!

Even Mr transmission, commission, confusion is surprised magu. World IGP😀😀 Nigeria don get yeye people for leadership o

Lying is in itself an act of Corruption. officialEFCC itself needs to be investigated for Corruption !

ayemojubar Tell him i said he should shat tap dere, with him saw dust head

Great EFCC, BBC captured your boss error

Okay officialEFCC did he say “corruption is the biggest strategy in human kind?

ayemojubar EFCC collect ur crown.

officialEFCC boss why worried,na Normal level jare.... We don over the matter tay tay....abeg wetin Basel play today?

Crazy EFCC people

Well if nobody understands you, I do. The colour is what you say it is. Ride on

Surely, daily trust's opinion poll proves that Magu's Statement is the gaffe of the month. The denial of d statement by EFFC is also an act of corruption. By and large, this might be one of the reasons why 8th Assembly rejected him & refused to confirm his appointment as well.

I Just returned from a country in East Africa, Ashamed that i am from a country where buffoons recycled themselves into Power for over 50 Years and have no clue what governance is, arrogant power drunk old and shameless failure who deserves no respect

Maybe this was a doctored video?

Lol .. well the video could have been doctored .. after all video evidence is not enough to prove anything.. in NIGERIA . Ganduje’s video was doctored too . 😀

E b like say all of u don mad seff,ogun wan kill u Sha,shey efcc dey see us as kindergartens ni e b like thunder wan kill Dem all

Lai Mohammed has finally succeeded in mentoring them. They should hide their faces in shame. Magi should just resign for this blunder

The audiovisual can attest to whatever he said. Enough of hide and seek.

Did you people watch the video..I don't think so at...

I still insist he is right because no known origin of that virus and we have lived with animals for many years and I suspect the scientists who create chemical weapons

A program to was air on a national television NTA

He didn't say corruption caused coronavirus... but what he said was that 'coronavirus was caused by corruption' And EFCC are ready to defend this with last kobo in their budget

Even Efcc dey fraud Nigerians

We all heard him.

Sorry, check if you trashed it here.

😁😁😁😁he is dull

Ahh pls enough of this already, stale and boring.

This is pure corruption officialEFCC for denying it.. I have the video as prove.. ~NICKI AGUMS

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆🤣🤣🤣

Is lying also not corruption?

But dem clap 👏

'Covid 19: Understanding what Magu said.' This sounds like the title of an academic article. Meaning we have to do a 'critique' of his statement to understand the embedded meaning of his gaffe. These EFCC officials are really silly. Nigerians are no fools, we know what he said.

Exactly what he said. Magu said it. No amount of denial will change it officialEFCC

What then did he say? That coronavirus caused corruption? Bunch of unserious fellows. The video speaks for itself.

We have de video

Is like EFCC and their allies are all mad. What he said and you all clapped

we can now see how corruption is fighting back. Nigeria we hail thee.

Nothing officialEFCC says can be taken serious again. How can you publicly deny despite the public having physical evidence? FBI be looking at you embarrassing yourself.

Ndị Ara

What do y'all expect when a super power has put fire on the govt ass to demand the meaning of that unguided statement. EFCC had to lie to keep naija safe. If they agree he said so, China will deal decisively with us. This is how their type put us in trouble. Same with US ban

Then who said?

Pier no feet una abeg

From the day we have Minister of Information as Lai Mohammed, I know lie can never be far from this administration. Lying is also corruption, Mr Magu.

The thing make we hear with our hear 😂🤥

Welldone😄😄 Lai mohammed geng

Punch sha likes wahala 😂

Mr Magu syntax is zero. I wonder how he passed his Waec. Shithole like his Boss

Oh! I guess he said another name for corruption is corona virus then.

Insisting on something mundane does not make it right. Magu said what he said, he should live with it. And make sure he does not misyarn next time.

Telling blatant lie is an economic and financial crime

Lie lie..when we saw d video....haba..e de beru olorun

We still don't understand the kind of technology used in that fake video.

😂😂😲😲😲. Oga Magu Ooin. I said Ooin Ooin

We all have deaf ears. Thank you 🙏

We saw the 'unedited', 'undoctored' or 'unnursed' video. They think they can 'Call Dog Monkey to us'? 😂😂😂

We r obviously not as stupid as they r

We don hear 😌

Going back on your words is sign of corruption!

It's true. He said corruption is worse than coronavirus.

Whether he said it or not, we have heard it already. Please let him provide the cure.

We don hear o after the drama Nigerians has move on with their lives.

Liars

EFCC, an agency that ought to stand for/uphold truth in this nation but full of deceit and master holder in lying. officialEFCC are you tell us that the video was doctored? Oh, somebody says you have itching ears

officialEFCC , truth is you lot are a bunch of hypocrites

This is to show how they treat we citizens even though they see that the person is innocent they will still deny to the core, to make matters worse they will say they are still investigating. Nonsense and rubbish

Guess EFCC now has ear problems

officialEFCC should've used the video evidence in circulation to back the denial. Get busy with the 'kwaruption pight' and move on. Nigerians already know the truth.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We hear rest. 🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️

Lol Did you watch the video at all You can't denile illiteracy. It always come when you're not prepared.

Where the link? He didn't say it joo. Hearing corruption!!!!

Liars goes to hell

It is what it is...Nigerians, as you lay your bed, so shall you lay on it.

Na him ghost talk am 😂😂 EFCC n Magu Issa joker 📣

Don't believe it until it's officially denied. EFCC is web of die-hard liars.

Even when they claim they aren't lying they are actually lying

This people didn’t go to school I can swear with my life

See his head like local rice

Stupid and shameless hegoat

Thunder where are you?

They can never stand for what the say. They’ll Always deny.

Ok we have agreed o he didn’t say it can we now move on

officialEFCC Perhaps his speech was doctored, no? 🙄🤔🙄🤔

Is a Lai

Isn't that too late?😆😆😆

Just imagine dis peole oo, so we are now deaf

Hmmmm

Is that the most important issue to talk about now

Nigerians have taken the one we want to believe, make una keep ranting there. I don't how what he said invalidate his one sided corruption fight.

Videos dont lie

How I laugh when stupidity is displayed stupidly

They are insisting because I guess their image maker is dead, Magunovirus EFCC.

Wait, I don't hunraastanddd is it the people that has hearing problem or EFCC There was a video ohhhh

Na him papa talk am?

Lol hehehehe

Pls i hope punch is saying the truth here and if its the truth then EFCC better be changed to lie FCC or corruption FCC pls . Only in 9ja things like this happens . officialEFCC

EFCC! Lie is corruption oh

You can’t deny it...but keep trying 😂🤣😆🤣😂

You should have put it that Magu was meant to say all that you pointed out but instead vomited unintelligent substances that polluted not just our eardrums but the entire citadels of astute reasoning.

Why did god put all de liers in 9jan na

The more reason the NAS declined his confirmation, the guy is not an impressive Inteligentia. After ofcus the pioneer chairman ; Nuhu Ribadu, I think the I give it to Farida Waziri, she is a cerebral and more qualified chairperson the commission ever had

Fighting corruption my foot

Publish the full video and rest. Leave these patched up lies. This behav8is worse than corruption. Own up and apologize, we will understand your shortcomings.

So, who said it? His lifeless boss MBuhari?

So they mean we are deaf Abi?

We understand. He was only lip syncing someone at the background.

.....too late for the spin doctors. He that live by lies shall surely die by lies.

We watched the video abeg

Olodo!! Efcc boss...

What then did we hear?

officialEFCC You people can lie for Africa😂😂😂... He said so..

He undoubtedly said so. His present denial is of no consequence.

Like seriously? Please arrest the person that edited the video for fraud and all those that heard for memory wipe 🤣

Na today the blunder start? I remember vividly an interview by MaupeO on channels about building a strong independent institution for EFCC which can not be subject of executive control and Magu responded that they are moving soon to a newly built structure(institution)..

😂😂😂😂this is what happens when you just read from paper and don't understand what you are reading. Olodo EFCC oga.

Whatever he said or didn't 'said'... how does it increase or better the poor standard of living of the country? Please focus on meaningful discussions.

Must we defend every word, oh! Nigeria who did this to us,we always finds a way to twist every words even when is true and also verifiable.

When when there is video evidence?. Every institution under this government is shit

Where are the E-rats arguing for him that what he said is right, that it's corruption that somehow caused Crona-virus? You guys should come and remind EFCC that your man did actually said that.

I have the video

So you mean the video was corrupted? 😳 That's corruption! 😤

Nigerians have moved past this already. Expecting the next stupidity.

EFcc you never reason tinubu matter oo

This country is a joke.

Lol

Corruption is even worstsess than all deadly diseases😂😂😂😂

Another poorly cooked lie.

Fulls

MickyCarlos lol

What did he say then? That mbuari and his service chiefs are corrupt?

Block head like his oga

That means say una be deaf and blind

Abi wọn officialEFCC ti ya were ni

The more they try, the truer it gets

It's like everything this administration touches does. Zero Integrity.

Too late

This is why this country isn’t moving forward but retrogressing. How on earth would you want to tell us black is white when we hear him well

Yes he didn't! He just mentioned that to the coronovirus infected spectators who applauded.

Ok o we done hear.

EFCC, why are you still Lai-ing?

Is this a joke?😏

Tell him we don't have ear problem like their boss buhari

That is what people without nourished minds do, they call lie true even when truth stands immovable.

But you all know that Magu is not all that educated to head EFCC. The virus he spread in that video is real. It can’t be retrieved. Another matter please.

Please just divide Nigeria... We are ruled by incompetent individuals.

Medicine after death is a waste

This is Nigeria, Awon eyan Lai Mohammed

Evrery agency now acting supposedly.

If the same Anti Corruption agency can lie to the Nigerian public then we can as well assume the fight against corruption is a lie as well. We all watched the video and Magu should come out and apologize. No one is perfect and we can all see that Magu’s brain is dead.

Na today

The handler of this page needs brain surgery and realignment

Not loose for one end be that....something wey me hear by myself

Apc, lovers how market

Dem don start again

EFCC should just keep quiet......

So EFCC think we don't have hears or what are they saying
