Addressing the media in Abuja on Friday, the Group Executive Director Media and Publicity Comrade Taiwo Adeniran, said that the tools of the graft agency should be used for what is in the interest of the nation and not to be used to intimidate, oppress, embarrass or to serve as a payback time to citizens that have distinguished themselves while in public office in the verge to serve their fatherland.
The statement read partially “We have it on good grounds the committed effort put in place for the recovery of funds stolen and prosecution of looters and the ongoing activities of the EFCC, to ensure all diverted public funds are recovered.
