EFCC Chairman Begins Clean-Up Of Agency

Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu has commenced a clean-up of the agency targeting allegedly corrupt officials and those accused of leaking official information.

In a statement on Thursdays by the spokesman of the Commission Wilson Uwujaren, Ibrahim Magu has commenced a massive clean-up of the agency with the arrest of some officers allegedly involved in unauthorized leakages of official information and causing damaging reports based on false information to be published against the Commission by bloggers.

According to the EFCC statement, those already in custody include a management staff of the rank of director, some senior and lower cadre officers, including a former senior operative who was dismissed for corruption and involvement in cult activities.

He disclosed that available facts indicate that the staffers, who operated as a syndicate, were desperately projecting the management staff to take over the leadership of the Commission while attacking the integrity, professionalism and reputation of the EFCC.
