Acting Chairman of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has said Nigerian
politicians are finding every means possible to destroy the achievements of the
EFCC.
Magu stated this in Abuja on
Wednesday, when a delegation of GIABA officials paid a courtesy visit to the
EFCC headquarters.
He said they created a new
Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), which had partly been accomplished
through a bill that had been passed by the Senate.
He said the suspension of the
NFIU from the Egmont Group was based on ‘misinformation’.
“Politicians are behind the NFIU
crisis, because they want to destroy the achievements recorded by the EFCC.
“There is a complete misunderstanding
about the workings of the NFIU, and it is surprising that the new bill by the
legislators pushing for removal of the NFIU from the EFCC was passed in seven
days.
“I have confidence in the
management of the NFIU and the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering
and the relationship is very cordial and professional,” the EFCC boss said.
