EFCC mum on corrupt officials' identities

Lagos - The Chairman of the Economic and Financial
CrimesCommission (EFCC) Chairman, Ibrahim
Lamorde, said it would be premature to provide
details regarding probes into some public officials
alleged to be involved in corruption.
He assured the public would be kept informed as
soon as investigations were concluded and the cases
were ready for prosecution.
"A lot of people are being targeted, but most
investigations are at the preliminary stage. As such,
we may not be able to provide the details
now because it may jeopardise our investigation. I
assure Nigerians that the fight against corruption is
going on with full vigour. It takes time for cases to be
fully and diligently investigated and taken to court
and then made public," said Lamorde after receiving
a delegation from the French Embassy in Nigeria.

Earlier this week, Lamorde said the Commission
would embark on investigation of cases of some
politicians who are alleged to have looted the public
treasury with a view to ridding the country of
corruption.
He could not mention names of figures under
investigation.
"A lot is going on. We have embarked on
investigations, which involves some sitting
governors, ex-governors, serving ministers, ex-
ministers, some former heads of Service of the
Federation and some members of the National
Assembly," he said earlier.
