Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has called on legal practitioners to join hands with the Commission in its bid to free Nigeria of corruption.
He gave this charge on Tuesday, July 12, 2016, at the opening of a one-day workshop organised by the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in collaboration with the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption, PACC at the Rockview Hotel, Abuja.
According to Magu, the EFCC cannot stamp out corruption in the country without the support of all stakeholders.
“We consider everybody a stakeholder, as the EFCC does not have monopoly of knowledge to defeat all shades of graft,” he said.
The anti-graft czar urged legal practitioners to always play by the rule and avoid being used by corrupt elements to pervert justice adding that, “what is important is the interest of the nation which should be placed above any other interest.”
According to him, there is nothing personal in the fight against graft as everything he does is guided by the fear of God and for the interest of the future of the unborn generation.
