The Acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.Yesterday disclosed that looters of the country’s treasury now keep illicit funds in Ghana. Magu made the disclosure at the commission’s corporate headquarters after the Chartered Institute of Public Resources Management & Politics(CIPRMP)Ghana formally decorated and conferred the Fellowship of the Institute on him.
According to the Magu, the commission was already collaborating with the Ghanaian authorities to finalise plans on how to repatriate the alleged looters to the country for prosecution.
He added that the plan is to also were to seize their assets and return them to the Federal government.
According to Magu, the commission has ruffled many feathers and has touched the untouchables in the society.
He said“We are doing all these, not because we love dangers; we are doing them because we love the comfort and peace which anti-corruption brings".
“We value good lives for our country people and a better future for all our children. The costs of fighting corruption may be grave, but the cost of not fighting it is more deadly. This is why we continue to call on every Nigerian to enlist in the anti-graft war.”
The executive director of the institute, Dr. Richard Kpoku-Aquarte said Magu was considered for the honour for his “record of integrity, transparency and honesty in his duties”.He said under Magu, many corrupt Nigerians that were said to be untouchable in the past had been brought to book.
