The acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim
Magu, says the funds allegedly looted by a former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-
Madueke surpasses that of the late military head of state, Sani Abacha.
The anti-corruption boss spoke in Lagos on Thursday. He said the anti-graft agency has
only been able to recover about fifteen per cent of Diezani’s loot, saying it will take
some time to get back most of the alleged loot.
The EFCC acting chairman said the agency is collaborating with the UK government to
facilitate the extradition of the former minister and vowed never to give up until all the
money stolen from the country is recovered.
He also explained that the EFCC is making efforts to involve experienced lawyers in
order to reduce the rate of loss of court cases. Magu, who expressed resolve to kill
corruption in the country, called for support and collaboration from Nigerians, saying
corruption is the greatest problem of the country.
