Magu insists EFCC will crack $180m Halliburton scam

 Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mr. Ibrahim Magu, yesterday said the agency will get to the roots of the $180million Halliburton scandal and other outstanding corruption cases.
Magu, who spoke when the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) and members visited the commission, said the EFCC is getting back the confidence of the people.

He said: “We are restructuring the operations aspect of the Commission and weeding out the bad eggs. We are also carrying the anti-corruption crusade to the grassroots.”


“The efforts of the agency are yielding results. We are determined to get to the root of major corruption cases in the country, including the Halliburton case.

We are getting back the confidence we have been lacking.”
He said the EFCC was facing a major problem with regards to accommodation, and there was a need to have an Academy equipped to international standards.
