In a bid to give the nation’s fight against corruption more credibility, the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Ibrahim Magu, has pledged to be prudent and effective in handling all cases of corruption in the country.
He also stressed that he would be guided by fear of God, national interest and the rule of law.
Magu, who made the declaration during an interaction with media owners yesterday in Lagos, pleaded with the media to give him some time to look into some pending high-profile cases currently undergoing investigations by the commission, pointing out that part of his immediate challenges was how to erase the negative public perceptions about EFCC.
He recalled that though at inception the commission took off with a little above 30 workers and no funding, EFCC was able to make a mark through the determination and doggedness of the officers .
He added that public consciousness about corruption then helped to check impunity and criminality.
