Following President Buhari’s Mutual Legal Assistance agreement with
 the United Arab Emirate on the repatriation of stolen funds and 
extradition of indicted officials, the Acting Chairman, Economic and 
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, met with the UAE 
Ambassador to Nigeria, Mahmud Muhammad Al- Mahmud today in Abuja.

Magu
 called for the strengthening of the existing relationship between 
Nigeria and United Arab Emirate, UAE, with a view to effectively tackle 
corruption within the African continent.
“The
 fight against graft requires the collaborative support of all and 
sundry, most especially the international community for it to be won”, 
he said.
 According to the EFCC boss, the present administration in the country 
is poised to recover the nation’s commonwealth looted and laundered in 
foreign countries by corrupt elements. He said the Commission has 
intelligence that the UAE is considered a safe haven by corrupt 
politically exposed persons in Nigeria.
A-Mahmud pledged the support of his country to Nigeria’s anti-graft war.
“No counrtry can be an island on its own without the support of others.” the UAE Ambassador said.
