EFCC investigating some sitting govs, says Magu

Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, says the anti-graft agency is investigating some serving and former state governors for corruption.

Magu stated that the agency was inviting for questioning some suspected persons, who connived with the governors.

But he did not reveal the identities of those under probe, saying this could jeopardise the anti-graft agency’s investigations.

Magu, who spoke at a press conference to mark the 2020 Democracy Day in Abuja on Thursday, also said in the last five years, EFCC had recovered assets in excess of N980 billion.

“We are on course in all the cases we are prosecuting, our scorecard in the area of conviction is 2,240 in the last five years and we covered assets in excess of N980billion, with quite a large array of non-monetary assets. We are also investigating serving and former governors and questioning those conniving with them,” he said.
