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.

“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.
