Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has expressed the anti-graft body’s determination to go
after the former Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) and
ex-Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayo Oke over
corruption charges.
EFCC’s attempt to arrest
Ekpeyong on Tuesday in
Abuja was resisted by men of the DSS.
The Commission wants Ekpeyong
in connection with its investigation into the $2.1billion arms fund involving
former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rted) while Oke is
wanted over the $43million recovered at a flat in Lagos.
Magu spoke to State House
corespondents after attending the inauguration by President Muhammadu Buhari of
Audit Committee on the Recovery and Management of Stolen Assets Within and
Outside Nigeria.
He said: “We are not
discouraged at all. The law must take its course. Nobody is above the law.”
He added: “There must be
reasons, strong reasons, before we go for arrest.”
When asked if he was
discouraged by the action of the DSS, Magu responded: “Never! Never! I’m
not discouraged but rather energised to do more. I am telling you, nobody is
above the law.”
