Ibrahim Idris, the
inspector-general of police, has called on Nigerians to support President
Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption to put the country back on the path
of greatness.
Idris made the call at the
customary dinner organised for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) detective superintendent course (7) 2017/2018 at the Nigerian Defence
Academy (NDA), Kaduna.
He said the feat achieved by the EFCC
with the recovery of looted funds under the leadership of Ibrahim Magu, the
acting chairman, could not have been possible without the support of the
president.
“Without the support and
prompting of Mr President, the achievement made by the commission would not
have been possible,” he said.
“Mr president has zero tolerance
for corruption and I urge all Nigerians to support him to carry the fight to
its logical conclusion.”
The IGP, while congratulating the
314 cadets who successfully completed the 13 months training course, charged
them to exercise a high sense of professionalism and courage in carrying out
the task ahead.
“You have been called upon to
join the anti-corruption crusade of the president, commander-in-chief of the
armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; as such, you must be
professional, committed and courageous in the fight.
“This is the only way you can
guarantee your service in the commission,” he said.
He warned them against
temptations in the course of their job, urging them not to pervert the course
of justice for monetary and material rewards.
“I advise you to be above board
and resist all the temptations. You must be contented with your salary and allowances
and know that being an officer of the EFCC does not make you immune to arrest
and prosecution if found wanting,” Idris said.
He said that the police would
continue to partner with the commission to ensure that all those who looted the
treasury and diverted funds that would have been used to develop the economy
were arrested and prosecuted.
