Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Mustafa Magu has told Nigerians to expect the prosecution of those who milked the nation’s treasury dry.
He said anyone found guilty will go to jail this year.
Magu, fondly called The General, said every stakeholder seemed to be more serious now about fighting corruption.
“From all indications, the judges are more serious, everybody is cooperating and this year, we will see more politically-exposed persons convicted. We will flush out corrupt people,” he said.
Magu, who spoke during a visit to The Nation Newspaper’s headquarters in Lagos yesterday, said he was mobilising , opinions, ideas and strategies that were necessary to strengthen the anti-graft battle.
“We need more ; it is about Nigeria, not an individual, the fight is for everybody, from the media we have to go to the grassroots, we will take it to children in the schools; we have to tell the children that corruption is bad, tell them why there is no chair in the classroom.
“We will sensitise everybody on the evil of corruption. We need to let people know that corruption is bad because some people don’t seem to know,” Magu said.
“The impunity is too much. Sometimes I shed tears in the morning before I go to the office. It is just unbelievable; the rot is terrible. What I am saying is that people who know they have stolen our commonwealth should bring it back.
“People arrogate things to themselves. They have taken our money and are bold enough to say they are not going to return it. The money belongs to the people; they should return the money quietly; let there be voluntary compliance. Let them voluntarily come out to say ‘this is what I have stolen’ and the government will take it. I think that is the best thing to do,” the EFCC chief added.
Magu commented on the handcuffing of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesperson Olisa Metuh when he appeared in court, saying, there is nothing wrong in handcuffing an accused.
“It is not coming from us (Nigerian Prisons Service, NPS, brought Metuh to court), but there is nothing wrong with that actually. They have a right to use their discretion; you are not there, there must be reason. There are instances when you handcuff a suspect, but let them explain themselves”, he said

Ha ha!
Time for the pRISONs to be renovated and expanded for the Higher Classes. cheesy
He said anyone found guilty will go to jail this year.

In between: As for the looters, if they cant go to jail, cant
Nigeria make profit out of them?
Ion think granting a bail with the exact amount stolen is worthwhile
We need more jare!

Change is on the way...but trust me, it wont be easy. As for those
wanting all to be well this tenure, dream on!

The annoying part is you people have not jailed anyone yet.

Recover the monies or good part of the monies, legally throw them behind bars and destroy the keys.

Only if PDP had known, they would have renovated our debilitated prisons and even built executive prisons with AC.
Since oil price is dwindling and with all these monies hanging on our corrupt politicians, I think proceeds from the recovered loot can solely fund the 2016 budget.

Not in country where everything is black or white. If you dont inform the public, the opponent will just use it against you to score cheap political point. Case study- handcuffing of Metuh.

It is not today we started hearing all this type of noise making, there are some big men we know were very poor before they went into government, if we dont see them in jail and only the ordinary adventurers are sent to jail, then it will be a hoax as usual.
