Bukola Saraki’s investigation is not personal – EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu

Ibrahim Magu, the Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday, said the ongoing investigation of the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, is not personal. He said this while receiving the award for Outstanding Leadership in Public Service by Euro Knowledge Group.



“No, no, it’s not personal. I am not after anybody. Please, I don’t want you to personalise this. It is not different from other investigations we are doing,” he said.



When asked to comment on the statement by Saraki that he was being witch-hunted, Magu said “never. “You invite people who have committed a crime, people who are corrupt. “If you are not corrupt, you are not here. “We do our homework very well: sometimes we conduct preliminary investigations for up to six months and such persons won’t even know we are investigating them,” Magu said.



He described corruption as “a national disaster and mother of all evils. “If you remove disaster (corruption), you have a peaceful country.” He said banditry, Boko Haram nuisance and other crimes were “caused by corruption and sustained by corruption. “It is been funded by stolen and laundered funds, that’s why it is being sustained.” The acting chairman, however, said that if corruption was tackled, banditry and kidnappings would be sorted out.

We are not planning to overthrow Buhari - Nigerian Military

The defence headquarters on Tuesday dissociated the armed forces of Nigeria from the circulation of document, calling for the overthrow of the democratically elected government led by President Muhammadu Buhari.



In a statement issued by Muhammed Wabi, deputy director of defence information, the DHQ accused a group, “Nigerian Continuity and Progress’’ as being behind the document.



Wabi alleged that the document called for the setting up of an “interim government’’ in place of the elected government.


“The Armed Forces of Nigeria wishes to dissociate itself from the rascality and intentions as espoused in a document being circulated by a faceless group named Nigerian Continuity and Progress calling for support of a revolution to oust the current democratically elected government and in its place establish an illegitimate interim government,” the statement read.

“The AFN outrightly condemns the undemocratic and demonic actions of the author of the document.

“Accordingly, members of the public are enjoined to discountenance the content of the documents being circulated by NCP and equally condemned in totality, the call to derail our hard-earned democracy.”



The statement stressed that the armed forces of Nigeria is very mindful of its constitutional responsibilities and would not be misled into any act that would undermine democracy as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution as amended.
