Acting Chairman of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu says all looted funds and
assets from Nigeria recovered so far by the agency are only a tip of the
iceberg.
He stated that there is much more
stashed away in the country and in different parts of the world, adding that
Nigeria has not seen anything yet.
Magu told Channels Television on
Friday that his determination to recover all stolen funds and secure the
country’s posterity remains unshaken.
“The corrupt people are fighting
us in all angles on a 24-hour basis so our main challenge is the corruption
fighting back using all sorts of instruments but we are trying our best, it has
also heightened our commitment, our determination in the fight against
corruption.
“We are not the only agency involved in the
fight against corruption so I want to appeal to other law enforcement agencies
who are also charged in fighting corruption to put more effort and support us
in the fight against corruption but I am telling you what we have discovered is
not unusual and it’s the tip of the iceberg.
“We are following all the
recovered funds and we intend to recover them all and cause the perpetrators to
face the full wrath of the law. Some of them are outside the country and we are
following all the modalities, procedures in getting them repatriated back to
the country.” Magu stated.
