Significant recoveries have been via whistle-blowing – EFCC

Ibrahim Magu, the Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has stated that Nigerians in the whistle-blowing in fact works as many recoveries have been made via this medium.



Appealing to the people of South-South to embrace this policy, Magu said;

“Whistle-blowing is working, and significant recoveries have been made so far by the EFCC across the country through the policy. Magu added that he believes EFCC can achieve this in the South-South.

He continued saying;

“We all want a nation of high per capital income; robust economy; zero hunger and functional infrastructures. This is a great aspiration but such a prospect can only materialize if we join hands together to fight corrupt practices. The whistle-blowing window is a good opportunity to achieve this and we must explore it.”

“The Act provides that a person who makes a disclosure shall not be subjected to victimisation by his or her employers or by fellow employees. Additionally, a person who makes a disclosure has the right to take legal action if he or she is victimised, dismissed, suspended, declared redundant, transferred against his or her will, harassed or intimidated in any manner.”
