I Prefer to Die Fighting Corruption - EFCC Boss


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.
