Magu: Militancy In Niger Delta, By-product Of Corruption | Sahara Reporters

Ibrahim Magu, acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , says he aligns with scholars who posit that militancy and insurgency are the by-products of corruption.

“Whether we like it or not, corruption and terrorism have become the twin evils undermining our collective efforts to make Nigeria a truly great country,” he stated. The EFCC boss observed that the country’s loss to corruption in the last decade runs into trillions of naira, noting that a review of the recoveries between 2017 and now, shows that in 2017, the EFCC recovered N473.065 billion, $98 million, €7 million and £294,000, while N236.16 billion was recovered in 2018.

officialEFCC Most of the crimes in our country is a direct reactive result of our criminal's systems we're running in Nigeria. Unfortunately we can't fight crime with crime and have good result. Let's all fight the system and install a new system. Afterall the system is against all of us!
