Corruption is a major factor causing insecurity – EFCC

Corruption has been the major contributing factor to the insecurity witnessed across the country, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said.

Speaking on a private radio programme in Ibadan, Oyo state, Magu, the Acting Chairman of EFCC called for a concerted effort against corruption to ensure a peaceful country. Magu who was represented by the EFCC’s Ibadan zonal head, Friday Ebelo, said the best way to fight insecurity is majorly through fighting corruption in the country.

“You can’t separate the growing insecurity from corruption. The surest path to peace in our country is to take care of the menace of corruption.” “If we succeed in stemming corruption, we will berth a working system in which the problem of the infrastructural deficit will be addressed. Ignorance will be kept at bay, and there will be more jobs for the people,” Magu said.
