In a new statement released by EFCC, Acting chairman of the Commission
Ibrahim Magu has commended Mr. Adamu Dan Musa, the Commission’s head of
operations in Kano Zonal Office, who led a team that recovered over
$9.8million from the residence of a former Group Managing Director of
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Andrew Yakubu in
Kaduna.
He said the officer and his team demonstrated
courage, professionalism and integrity in executing the raid that
yielded the astounding discovery. He called on staff of the Commission
to emulate the team as the EFCC is poised to take the fight against
corruption to new heights.
The EFCC boss also used the opportunity to clarify the misleading
information in a release by the Police Service Commission, PSC,
concerning the promotion of six policemen for outstanding performance.
One of the newly promoted officers, Suleiman Abdul, who is currently at
the EFCC, was purportedly promoted to the rank of Assistant Commissioner
of Police because he “recently recovered N42billion for the Federal
Government”.
He said he is unaware of any recent recovery by the officer. “He may
have made recovery in the past. But in the last six years I am not aware
of any recovery by the officer to warrant commendation by the
Commission.”
Magu who spoke after the Commission’s monthly keep fit programme on
February 11, urged all staff of the Commission to be dedicated to their
jobs as only diligence, professionalism and uncommon courage would be
rewarded with promotion.
