We Are Fighting Powerful Forces – EFCC Chairman

The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, says the agency is fighting powerful forces in the country.

Yaahoo Journalist reports that Magu made this comment at the 3rd African Anti-Corruption Day in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital by the EFCC.

The EFCC acting Chairman stressed that the commission was determined to wage war against corruption to its logical conclusion.

He said that it has been difficult for the commission to repatriate stolen funds and assets in safe havens abroad.

His words: ”The forces we are against are powerful because they have a lot of stolen funds with them and enough resources to frustrate investigation and prosecution.

”But we are determined to lead the fight against corruption. To get these funds and assets back has become a problem.”
