I Prefer to Die Fighting Corruption - EFCC Boss

By

Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has vowed to fight corruption in Nigeria to a standstill even if it would cost him his life.

Magu made the assertion while playing host to a group of lawyers who visited him in Lagos to pledge their support for the ongoing war against corruption.
The EFCC boss enjoined Nigerians to support the current anti-graft war as the battle has entered a delicate phase where the vice is fighting back.
He said: “I am not afraid of anything. I prefer to die fighting corruption if need be.”
He also expressed regrets that some unpatriotic Nigerians, including senior lawyers, had“joined forces with fraudsters and those who looted our commonwealth by becoming coaches and technical advisers on how to escape justice”.
Magu also appealed to lawyers to be guided by good conscience and the interest of Nigeria when accepting briefs.

We will work with Buhari to destroy BokoHaram, says US

By
The United States of America has said it will work with President Muhammadu Buhari to stop the menace of Boko Haram in Nigeria and its neighbouring countries. Erstwhile President Goodluck Jonathan had complained during his tenure about the unwillingness of the American government to assist Nigeria in prosecuting the war against the terrorist group, especially in selling weapons to the country. But Washington said it would work with Buhari to likely increase the US’ level of support though it did not say whether that would include sales of lethal weapons earlier requested for by the Federal Government. The US Assistant Secretary, Bureau of African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, during a telephone press briefing on Monday, held in South Africa at the 25th African Union Summit, and monitored by our correspondent in Lagos, stated that Washington was committed to ensuring that Nigeria wins its battle against the terrorist group. “Fighting terrorism is not easy. Since 2001 we have...
