Corruption: Its difficult to say how much has been recovered-Magu

The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu has disclosed that it is very difficult to say exactly how much has been recovered so far as the Federal Government battles to recover funds it says were looted from the national treasury.

Magu made the disclosure today on the floor of the Senate as he fielded questions from senators in his confirmation session.

Magu who made several disclosures on the floor of the house was also quizzed about what the driving force in the fight against corruption is.

“Deizina went to London with her clique that perpetuated the crime to defraud Nigeria. They are on the run and I will get them,” he is reported by the twitter handle of the Senate to have said.

Pressed on if the body language of President Muhammadu Buhari was what determines who the EFCC investigates, Magu replied that “the commitment of Buhari to the fight against corruption is not in doubt.” He also states that he is aware that the national assembly is also an organ of government that is involved in the fight against corruption.

Magu who has been EFCC Chairman since 9, November 2015 said that “once we can remove corruption in Nigeria, everything will be okay.”

 

This is the second time Magu is facing Nigeria’s Senate in a confirmatory session, his confirmation was turned down three months ago based on a DSS report which was made available to Senate.
