“While commending President Buhari for his political will in fighting corruption, Magu also expressed delight over the commission’s relationships with other countries in Africa and beyond which he said had made it almost impossible for corrupt element to escape justice.
“The EFCC boss however solicited more in the area of capacit- building in order to be abreast of the modern trends in investigation of corruption cases.” Speaking earlier, the leader of the delegation, Stephen Twigg, “expressed satisfaction over the activities of the commission in the fight against corruption and encouraged it to be steadfast in its vision to make Nigeria a corrupt free nation”.
“Twigg said that they were in the commission to find out how they can be of help and to have a spot assessment of the ongoing project at the permanent site of the EFCC,” read the statement.

Story from a quota product.



The same Britain will milk you dry through SHELL

Who is deceiving who here?
well going by this guy name, we have a very long way to go

Magu or Mugu tell us how much you have recovered so far plzzz

If Nigerian government had any ability and dignity, Britain will not be helping them fight corruption. Shameless political class. Using billions for website, collecting money from Siemens and Halliburton.

Has Britain returned any looted funds such as Ibori funds and many others?
Last year former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was in Nigeria to put pressure on PMB to buy weapons and drones from an Israeli company who were ready to bribe Nigerian officials, but received a NO from PMB.

Corrupt Britain still invades countries and sponsors terrorists alongside USA with the aim of stealing their resources from Iraq to Libya to Yemen to Syria etc.
Britain is not even democratic as their Head of State (the Queen) is not elected but a monarchy, But they called Gaddafi names as life time President for adopting a similar system with England wherein he holds the office of Head of State with a Prime Minister but got destroyed for it.
Britain helps Nigerians and Africans in power to move money to Swiss banks and buy shares in London Stock exchange so how can they help you to fight corruption?

wailing zombies be like die already and bring back our corruption

When is Britain itself going to return their massive loot in Africa, during (1). Slavery (2). Colonization of Africa ?.

Over £10,000,000,000,000 (Ten Trillion Pounds) was stolen from Africa by brut force and sheer wickedness!.

Parliamentary Committee on International Development- PCID is nothing but the queen's scanner for the lay of the land in third world countries, a technic they perfected many years ago to study possible rooms for exploitation.

For details, see the true history of slavery they don't want you to know http://www.africason.com/2016/03/the-true-history-of-slavery-and-slave.html

Every African/black man who can read should see the above link.

Next topic pls.

me too dey thank them

.

Jesus please give African leaders wisdom. So this man isn't ashame to make public his negative utterances and the British will just be feeling in their mind that these people are really black monkeys.so without the western world we can take care of our problems then why advocating for freedom in 1960 if we can't do it on our own.beside how much has been recovered and how many has been prosecuted? God pls for the sake of your people touch the heart of our leaders and let Nigeria and Africa smile to good governance
