The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has said that the anti-graft agency is undergoing investigation before inviting the former president, Goodluck Jonathan and other accomplices in the arms purchase scandal.
He said this when he visited the office of the BBC Hausa service in London at the weekend. According to him, the EFCC would not skip anybody found culpable in the ongoing probe of arms purchase scandal or other misappropriation of public funds.
"Anybody that is involved in this scandal, we will invite him. It is only that we have to first establish our evidence. Anybody who is guilty, I swear, we will summon him wherever he is. And we have never invited anybody who is guilty. Anybody that we invited, we must have finished with our background study on him", Magu said.
"We spend not just days for the background work but months until we establish the case before we issue invitation. That is why none of the people we invited has come out clean. Whoever stole public funds and we establish our evidence, I'm telling you we will invite him, without cover. That is how the work is. We compile dossiers of proofs and facts before we invite," he said.
