The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa on Tuesday said that the commission will remain steadfast in taming the monster of corruption in the country despite the series of death threat he has been receiving.
The anticraft Boss stated this during a TV interview after he disclosed that he has been receiving death threats from high profile Nigerian, most of whom they are investigating.
Bawa vowed that the EFCC would tame the monster of corruption in the country and that he was not moved by the threats being received.
He lamented that there are elements of corruption everywhere but said “I am overly optimistic we will succeed in taming the monster of corruption in this country.’
Bawa stated that Nigeria is a deeply religious country and that was why one of the issues that “we do in public enlightenment is to engage with leaders of religious bodies. We are soon going to launch our interface with the Christian and Islamic communities to engage them on the ills of corruption.”
