The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed how corruption suspects whip up religious sentiments whenever they are called upon to account for any alleged misconduct.



Acting Chairman of the anti-graft commission, Ibrahim Magu, made this observation at the 7th Triennial National Delegates Conference of the National Council of Muslim Youth Organisations in Ibadan on Monday.

According to a statement by spokesman of the anti-graft agency, Wilson Uwujaren, Magu was represented by Mohammed Rabo, Head of the Ibadan zonal office of the EFCC.

“It is sad to note that the corrupt, using sponsored people, claim that they are being prosecuted because of their religion or their ethnic identity.

“They do their utmost not to answer the all-important question of whether or not they were guilty of the corruption allegations against them.

“Who, among the corrupt and those engaged in financial and economic crimes, does so in the name of his or her religion or ethnic group?’’ Magu was quoted as saying.
