Financial Crimes Commission Ibrahim Magu
has alleged that looters of Nigeria's treasury
are responsible for the growing agitation for
Biafra and the restructuring of Nigeria.
Magu while speaking at a stakeholder's
meeting in Kano on Friday, July 7, said the
looters who have stolen Nigeria's money over
the years are sponsoring all the growing
agitation in the country.
He said Nigeria must continue to move
forward with Nigerians determined to fight
corruption at all levels.
The EFCC czar said corruption is a threat to
Nigeria's unity and despite effort by the high
and might, all hands must be on deck to fight it.
"Agitations of restructuring the nation, Biafra
and even Boko Haram are being financed by
looters of the country," Magu said.
"The looters are ready to continue sponsoring
all these violence against the state just to create confusion to distract attention against them. But that will not succeed.
"I can assure you that the President and the
Vice President are committed to the fight
against corruption and we have this political
will in our leaders. We would not be deterred;
we will continue fighting the war against
corruption in this country.
"Again, those looting our wealth in this country are not more than 10,000 people and I don't think there is any way the will of these people will prevail upon over the 150 million people of Nigeria," he said.
Magu said he only needs President Muhammadu Buhari and the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to continue his job as the chairman of the anti-graft agency.
Magu while hosting some civil society
organizations said about 1000 people put
Nigeria in a sorry condition.
He said he is not threatened by Senate's
attempt to remove him as the EFCC's boss.
