We’ll Start Going After Lawyers Who Help Looters Escape Justice - EFCC
Category: Nigeria National News
Ibrahim Magu, the acting chairman of EFCC, has said the anti-graft
agency will soon go after senior lawyers who aid and abet financial and
economic crimes.
He 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 Rockview hotel in
Abuja on Tuesday.
According to a statement issued by Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman, Magu said;
“We consider everybody a stakeholder, as the EFCC does not have monopoly of knowledge to defeat all shades of graft,” he said.
He also urged legal practitioners to always play by the rule and avoid
being used by corrupt elements to prevent justice, adding that “what is
important is the interest of the nation which should be placed above any
other interest”.
In reiterating his commitment towards fighting money laundering, the
EFCC boss warned that, “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,” he said.
“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.”
