Efcc Finally Going After Jonathan’s Top Men And Women

The EFCC has concluded plans to commence the probe of the former President Goodluck Jonathan regime with investigations into the financial transactions of him and his ministers and top aides.

The Chairman of the commission, Ibrahim Lamorde, had already directed that all petitions against former public officers at the federal level should be forwarded to him to be acted upon.


Three top sources in the EFCC revealed that Lamorde was “determined to expose any corrupt act during the administration of the former President Jonathan.”
In fact, many former ministers, advisers, heads of parastatals and those of other Government agencies would be invited for interrogation by the EFCC in few weeks from now.


According to Punch, the anti-graft agency would focus on those who headed establishments that attracted huge allocations from the Federal Government when Jonathan was in power.

Such ministries and agencies, it was learnt, included defence, petroleum resources and power.

The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, had in an interview last week, said President Muhammadu Buhari would indeed probe Jonathan’s government.

He had said that the present administration would recover billions of dollars, adding that “the world is too small a place for anybody to hide if you are running from justice.

"Remember when he (Buhari) went to Germany for the G7 summit, he met with President Obama and Obama told him to just give us information on where the loot is hidden and we will help you recover it and the government has been working on that. So, that shows that looters will never go free."
