The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has faulted the report credited to the United States government claiming that there is massive corruption under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The report is unfounded on the grounds of Nigeria’s remarkable achievements in the last four years as the war against corruption is on course. It is instructive to state that no other agency in Africa has this record of convictions and recovery of stolen assets which were achieved in spite of great encumbrances faced by the Commission in the discharge of its assignment as it has come to be known that when you fight corruption, corruption fights back.
We further wish to state that in the area of convictions, Air Vice Marshall Tony Omenyi , was jailed by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of a Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, February 28, 2019. He was found guilty of the amended three-count charge brought against him by the EFCC and was sentenced to seven years imprisonment without an option of fine.
In 2018 alone, various sums amounting to billions in Naira and other foreign currencies were also forfeited to the Federal Government through the unrelenting efforts of the EFCC. The sums are: N171, 131, 700, 541.17 ; $14, 490, 174.49 ; 873, 278. 09 Pounds ; 298, 055 ; 391, 838 and 10, 135 Dirham . These recoveries are unprecedented as no other agency can boast of such record.
This is a landmark decision with potential to improve the fight against corruption in Nigeria. It is regrettable that this feat failed to impress the United States Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour.Indeed, the US report’s portrayal of the work of the EFCC which is replete with inaccurate information is worrisome considering the close relationship between the Commission and some US entities.
The comprehensive investigation of the commission and evidence generated in prosecuting the corrupt deal formed part of documents used in prosecuting the criminal aspects of the notorious deal by the Milan prosecutor.
Corruption in this administration where camour oh!
Expected!
When you suspend the supreme court head several months to the elections, self deceit becomes the new normal
Lol no need giving an obvious report
EFCC is a political DOG useful befor election & during election
They can't fight oga
BFCC
The Rise of Anarchy. Very stupid Hausa Fulani. Pawns of the Extraterrestrial malevolent force on Earth that divides humanity against itself.
Rather than investigate, they reject because they are the government tool of oppression and suppression. I weep for Nigeria.
Our government is always good at rejecting international reports that are not in their favour. Let them know that we believe and have complete confidence in those reports.
They won't accept oooo US
Immaterial!
officialEFCC should rather thank government of united states for showing them where they have failed. People still bribe before they get government jobs in this country. Governors take bribes before awarding contracts.
Why wouldn't efcc reject it when they are the ones corrupting corruption
I am not surprised with the report because with all indications nothing has changed in terms of corruption in Nigeria. Corruption is being practiced in a more advance way under this current administration.
What do u expect from Atiku supporters like USA
EFCC ke? What the heck do they know about transparency? They are as cloudy as the mid-July weather
What do we expect?
This country is funny😂😂
Crying over spilled milk
But it is the truth. Every action of the administration is crystal clear even to the blind.
US reoort is dam right
When its as clear as they day? That is even corruption in itself!
Lol
Even without their evaluation we all know how apc led government is fighting corruption. It's so sad
Your days are surely numbered officialEFCC
ain't you supposed to investigate?
Attacks the opposition and a handful of defaulters in their party, make a fan fair of the insignificant prosecutions on paper to the full glare of the illiterate Nigerian populace and claim corruption is being fought to a stand still, and we the mumu people too go agree 😂😂😂
U must agree with them you are corrupt EFCC thieves
As if your rejection changes anything. Shior
No body is reporting the US corruption rate sef, they can’t tell us they’re not corrupt. Accommodating African loots is a crime too.
Smh
Truth is always bitter
EFCC and APC govt are the only ppl I have seen since I was born that after writing exams, they mark and score themselves and completely reject the opinions of the examiners, isn't that a joke?
officialEFCC only knows how to trap yahoo boys, but bullion van in some people house, haba u wan slap your father?
Does Magu know anything than to lie and steal? Band of robbers!
Nigerians y making noise ; u want your enemy to praise u abi ; your enemy will expose your bad side n keep d good side within them . We no u are trying , so keep on with d zeal .
Why not, is it not still the illegal Ag Magu officialEFCC that was rejected by 9jas but is there on behalf/authority of MBuhari?
iamiflash Shame on EFCCAPC
Same way they rejected an aboki man packing dollars in caftan. Gandollar🙄😇 who is this fool call magus? You think you can fool over 180 million citizen? Hell nah
So EFCC is defending the govt 👀
officialEFCC you people denied US report but Tinubu bullion van you turn an opposite eye, to me you just hunting dogs for APC
Of course 😂
You can reject it, but it's the truth. No one expects you to accept the truth before.
Lol... Proverbial ostrich
Normal as expected, yet it's a fact
We don't expect EFCC to like or accept that report either
Who is officialEFCC in global light? Is it the one that the chairman is wearing Buhari image? Or the one that goes blind on issue that has to do with APC members? Or the one senate refused to confirm because of complicity?
Why are they rejecting
We are not bothered by inept EFCC'S rejection because EFCC is an appendage of Buhari and APC. Corruption incorporated.
Ganduje, Babacir, Akpabio etc have they been arrested? No, because they are APC
you don't need to accept the US report,Nigerians knows better
PMB government has lost moral standing to speak on corruption because they are corrupted
Same way they rejected reports of bullion vans entering a man's house but accepted people carrying money in small suitecases in airport. Corruption under buhari wear skirt
US shld mind their business at least the knows them has the father of corruption in the world
officialEFCC is a disgrace walahi how long will you guys continue to be the attack dogs of the OfficialAPCNg
Up EFCC you are really working for this administration oh!, but remember nothing is permanent.
YeeeeeaaaAAAA MBuhari administrations na joke.
EFCC is FOOLING their self because we all know the truth
Does officialEFCC understand the technology used in building that report? I doubt much. Like they say, most people listen to respond and not listen to understand and pick objective line of action. EFCC should be an institution and not a ready emotional tool of witch-hunt.
I'm yet to hear or see any Nigerian ask the simple question why EFCC hasn't been recovering monies and USD dollars starched in unclosed houses again!!
What do you expect before? Are they not the attack dogs of OfficialAPCNg?
Changes nothing anyway. Very funny organisation
Surprised 😮
EFCC father is Buhari why wont they support him?
EFCC not an institution worthy of accepting the facts on how corrupt the Buhari administration..
America is the great liar of the year as well as great enemy of Africa and Africans
Wow... they did ?
Weather they accept it or not, we know the truth
Why would they accept it..... When they play bind to tinubu bullion van moves
Rejecting the fact won't change anything.
officialEFCC rejecting the report doesn’t change anything.
gandollar is wch regime pls efcc
So officialEFCC has become Ngolo Kante playing defensive midfielder for officialAPCNg. officialEFCC and Buhari is just a combination of today's sun ☀ and Lagos traffic 🚥... Very annoying, frustrating, dehydrating, draining and irritating
