EFCC – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, has called out Nigerian politicians accusing them of plotting to destroy the achievements of the anti-graft agency, The Cable reports.
The EFCC boss made his comments when he received the director-general of the Inter-Governmental Action against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), Adama Coulibaly, in Abuja. According to Naij.com, Magu accused politicians of being behind the crisis in the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).
He stated: “Politicians are behind the NFIU crisis because they want to destroy the achievements recorded by the EFCC. “The frantic move by the legislature to take the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) out of the EFCC was suspicious and borne out of an ulterior motive. “There is a complete misunderstanding about the workings of the NFIU, and it is surprising that the new bill by the legislators pushing for removal of the NFIU from the EFCC was passed in seven days. “This is a practice that has never happened in any part of the world.”
