A TOTAL of 22 persons involved in internet fraud have so far been convicted by the Benin Zone of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in the last one year.
Head of the Benin Zone, Mr Mailafia Yakubu who disclosed this yesterday in Benin after a road walk to mark this year’s World Anti-Corruption Day assured that verdict will soon be delivered in cases of other fraudsters who are popularly called Yahoo boys.
The anti-graft boss explained that the roadshow was to draw attention to the need for Nigerians to continue to draw attention to the ills of corruption and why we should collaborate in combating this menace.
He said: “Corruption and its twin evil, economic and financial crimes have ravaged our nation and its evidence in the decayed infrastructures and other basic amenities.
“It is the bane of our development. It is the reason our power supply is epileptic; It is the reason our country is still touted as a potentially great nation even after many years of sovereign statehood.”
Good job ?? done. But please, Corruption and its twin evil, economic and financial crimes have NOT ravaged our nation MORE than the DELIBERATE LOOTING OF PUBLIC FUNDS BY OUR SO-CALL LEADERS. Check our history as nation….
