In an interview held yestarday, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) Mr. Ibrahim Magu yesterday said the agency has recovered billions of stolen funds. Magu, who made the submissions in an address to a coalition of Civil Society Groups who marched to EFCC for a solidarity rally, said the days of impunity are over. He said:
“ We want the Nigerian people to continue to support us, continue to support Mr. President’s war on corruption.“We have many corruption cases in court. We are getting them every day from everywhere and we are recovering stolen money and taking corrupt people to court.
“The money we have recovered and the money we are going to get back from them -billions and billions of Naira- is being paid back to government and will be used to do what it was originally meant for -to build hospitals, send our children to school, build roads and railways, create employment and defend our country.
“We have no other country than Nigeria. This war is the war of the people.
“Apart from the fear of God, we have no other fear. Apart from the interest of Nigeria, we have no other interest. And apart from the rule of Law, we have no other rule guiding the work we are doing today. The days of impunity are over."
