The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Ibrahim Magu has traced the roots of insecurity in the land to corruption, noting that there is an urgent need for concerted efforts against corruption if peace and security are to reign again.
Magu made the submissions in Ibadan, Oyo state while featuring on a radio programme.
EFCC Boss who was represented by the Ibadan office Zonal Head, Friday Ebelo, noted that the deprivations occasioned by high-level corruption had created fertile grounds for all forms of criminality which in turn threaten the country’s peace and security.
While calling for cooperation from members of the public in the war against corruption, Magu stated that despite the powers granted the EFCC by the law, the commission, cannot win the anti-corruption battle alone.
He charged parents to show genuine interest in the activities and behaviours of their children and wards.
