Acting Chairman of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu, warned officials of the
agency to ignore underhand dealings that can put the commission in a mess.
He gave the warning on Monday at the EFCC Zonal office in Enugu State, urging officials to see their work as a call from God to serve humanity. “You cannot be fighting corruption and be corrupt,” Magu said in a statement by the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.
“You must be committed to your work and not mind the temptations because we will not spare anyone who is corrupt,” he said. The EFCC boss also advised them to always seek to learn from their superiors, saying nobody is a repository of knowledge.
Earlier before he addressed the staff members at the zonal office, he paid a courtesy visit to the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Ngozi Emehelu. Magu noted that the EFCC remains committed to learning and being guided by judicial prefects to carry out its functions of ridding Nigeria of corruption. He said: “We are here to thank you for all your support and also solicit for more, knowing that we are not above board and will constantly need directions and guidance in the work we do.”
