The craze and quest for bribe-taking has become too embarrassing. The missing gap is for us to conform with international best practices in law enforcement.
Bribe-taking is very common among the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials and such issues should not be smiled upon.
Most politicians who launder money do it comfortably, knowing well that if they eventually get caught by the EFCC, they can easily get away with it by bribing the officials.
The chairman, Ola Olukoyede, talked about the overarching need for a transactional credit system as a potent means of keeping corruption at bay. He was quoted as saying, “We need to encourage this and motivate Nigerians in this area. I want to particularly harp on the preventive modality which is the centerpiece of our new engagement. We are already building strength in this area through the restructuring of the layers of the Commission. I want every staff to be in tune with the new arrangement.”
He said he would not hesitate to wield the big stick against any form of infraction by any staff of the commission in regard to requests for gratification and receiving of bribes.
