The
Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has commended the acting Chairman of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu for his
courage and commitment to the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
He made
the commendation on December 5, 2016 while playing host to the EFCC boss who
led senior officials of the Commission on a visit to the Police Headquarters. “We
are proud of you; I have gone through the track records of the EFCC, I am proud
of the EFCC under your leadership. I am happy with what you are doing
“I
appreciate your courage, Be rest assured that as you fight corruption,
corruption will fight back; but always know that we are with you and we shall
be there for you at all times to ensure that you succeed,” he said.
Speaking
earlier, Magu congratulated the IGP on his appointment and assured him that he
will remain a good ambassador of the Nigeria Police Force.
“If it is
possible to come back again, I shall get enlisted into the Nigeria Police
Force. I can never do any other thing in my life.
“I will
never do anything that would dent the image of the Nigeria police, I shall
continue to keep the flag flying”, he assured.
While
advocating for more institutional support from the police, Magu said the Police
is a critical stakeholder in the fight against corruption. “EFCC is still very
young; the Commission needs the support of the Police which is the mother of
all law enforcement agencies in Nigeria”, he said.
He
specifically urged the IGP to rally female officers and members of the police
officers’ Wives Association, POWA, in support of the forthcoming Women Against Corruption (WAC) project
which will be flagged –off by the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari at the
International Conference Centre on December 7, 2016
In his
reply, the IGP pledged to support the EFCC in every way possible.
We shall
provide you with the needed assistance to succeed”, he assured.
