EFCC boss denies claims of agency's selective fight against corruption

Acting Chairman of EFCC Ibrahim Magu has denied claims that the agency has been selective in its current fight against corruption. Magu reacted to the allegations while speaking to newsmen in Abuja earlier today; 
“Nobody who is not corrupt, who is not involved, is with us. In all the cases, we conduct preliminary investigation. We work hard. If it is company you used, we unveil the profile of the company to see who owns the company.
If it’s money, we make sure we follow the money, in your account. So it is not true that we just go and carry people and dump them‎. Sometimes you have to give chance to the person accused to say his own side of the story. And in the process the man will disclose a lot of things that you may not know. So it is very necessary for you to follow up on the information received from the person arrested, to strengthen whatever you have. We don’t keep people for more than 10-15 days. In fact, in most cases, we obtain relevant court orders. In all cases, if you see we keep somebody, there must be a supporting court order. If you are not corrupt, we will not have any cause to invite you. So we only invite corrupt people, no selective"he said.
