The Acting
Chairman of the commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, disclosed this at an interactive
session with Editors in Abuja on Wednesday.
Magu, who
did not immediately give the number of the affected officials, said he would
not condone any act of corruption in the agency.
“Recently,
we had to discharge about nine cadet officers because they have problem with
their certificates from various institutions. We are also prosecuting a lot of
officers. Some of them are already in court.
“There is a
way you can help us. Just like you can help us with information regarding
corrupt practices outside the EFCC, and proceeds of corruption, you can also
assist in giving us the information.
“But, I
assure you, I do not tolerate, I won’t condone any act of corruption in the
EFCC .
“I cannot be
everywhere but I am telling you I don’t spare any allegation no matter how
little, we make sure we investigate.
“No
allegation against the EFCC personnel is left uninvestigated. Even if there is
allegation against me, we will refer it to the appropriate authority to
investigate.’’
The EFCC
boss said that the ongoing anti-corruption war was getting tougher, saying the
fight had never been this tough in the several years he had spent in the
battle.
