The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made it clear that no one will be spared from its probe, reiterating its pledge to look into any former governor and anybody connected to cases of corruption.
ACE Aliyu Yunusa, the zonal commander of the commission, delivered this message to civil society organisations (CSOs) in Sokoto during a one-day meeting.
Speaking to delegates from Kebbi, Zamfara, and Sokoto, Yunusa said that the EFCC will actively investigate instances pertaining to financial and economic crime within the legal framework, irrespective of the status of the parties involved.

He called on the public and organised bodies to actively participate in the fight against corruption, highlighting the cooperative role that CSOs play in the EFCC’s preventive mandate.
Speaking on Thursday in Sokoto, Yunusa continued, saying that the commission is ready to release Nigeria from the bonds of the so-called corruption.
“Our core mandate remains and we are determined and resolute to achieve results with the active collaboration of Nigerians particularly the CSOs who are equally drivers of our mandate to success,” he stated.
“We rely on the Nigeria public and organised bodies to nip in the bud, corruption and other economic crimes for a sound Nigeria,” he added.

Yunusa also took advantage of the chance to dispel the widespread belief among Nigerians that the EFCC doesn’t look into past governors.
“No past governor or anyone is exempted from our investigation where a petition is received,” he stated.
