Describing the development as a worrisome trend, the EFCC said that on no account will the chairman of the Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu instruct any staff of the agency to con unsuspecting members of the public. This was contained in a statement signed by the EFCC Head, Media & Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, and made available to newsmen. The commission said Nigerians should under no circumstance offer gratification to any one that claims to be an officer of the EFCC. “These reports are indeed worrisome as they detract from the well-established mode of operation by the Commission. “As a highly disciplined and professional organisation, demanding and receiving bribes are serious offences against discipline in the EFCC. The punishment for such acts includes dismissal and prosecution. “Staff of the commission are reasonably well paid and have no need to seek rent from suspects. The mere fact that a supposed officer of the EFCC demands gratification should put the public on notice. “Under no circumstance should members of the public offer gratification to any one that claims to be an officer of the EFCC. Indeed such demand for gratification is enough indication that the so called ‘operative’ could be an impostor”. The commission described as unfortunate that despite repeated warnings, some members of the public continue to fall prey to the antics of these fraudsters. The statement further warned that the EFCC will not hesitate to deal decisively with anyone caught using the name of the EFCC or its chairman for fraudulent purposes. The antigraft agency called on members of the public to report any one found to be soliciting money from innocent Nigerians. “Consequently, the public is implored to report any one found to be soliciting gratification on behalf of the Chairman of the EFCC or any senior officer of the agency, to the nearest police station or contact the EFCC through this number: 0903131991, or send email to: efccnigeria.org.” the statement added.]]>
