Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Ibrahim Magu has sought partnership with Nigerian artistes and comedians in the fight against corruption particularly internet fraud.
EFCC acting spokesman, Tony Orilade quoted the chairman to have made the call during an interactive session with artistes, comedians and On-Air-Personalities, OAP in Abuja.
He said that the engagement with the members of the creative and entertainment industry, was out of great concern about the increasing cases of “yahoo-yahoo” among Nigerian youths.
According to him, it is also belief that Nigeria’s creative minds was critical to curbing the ugly trend, which has given Nigeria a bad image.
While making reference to the recent prosecution of popular musician, Afeez Fashola, a.k.a Naira Marley, for charges bordering on internet fraud, Magu said that the commission was not “chasing” musicians.
The EFCC boss used the opportunity to emphasize that the commission has no issues with any member of the sector of the country.
