I WILL FIGHT CORRUPTION EVEN IF IT WILL COST MY LIFE--IBRAHIM MAGU

      The acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has again expressed his commitment to the war against corruption, saying he would sacrifice his life, if need be, to see the end of graft in Nigeria.
            

        He stated playing host to a group of lawyers who paid him a solidarity in Lagos yesterday, February 18.
       
        “I am not afraid of anything. I prefer to die fighting corruption if need be,” he said.

          Appreciating the visit, Magu said that the...
commission needs support from every patriotic Nigerian, as the battle against corruption enters a delicate phase where the vice is itself fighting back.

         He said it is unfortunate that some senior lawyers have “joined forces with fraudsters and those who looted our commonwealth by becoming coaches and technical advisers on how to escape justice”.

          Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, who led the group had said they were at the agency to express support for its activities and thank its chairman for revamping the fight against corruption.

           Also speaking at the meeting, Luke Aghanenu said the EFCC should expect that corruption would also fight back, as shown by the recent attack by some lawyers.

           He criticized the activities of some lawyers who are attacking the EFCC, and urged them not to hide under the cover of lawyer-client confidentiality to become accomplices to huge corruption.

          The EFCC acting boss then urged lawyers to allow the interest of Nigeria and good conscience to guide them when accessing and accepting briefs.

          What A Great Commitment! I hope all our leaders in this country would cultivate this great value in order to deliver good governance to the citizens on Nigeria.
