The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has given more assurance to Interfaith groups and other civil society organisations across the country, on greater involvement in its preventive mandate against economic and financial crimes

This assurance was given on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 in Kaduna by the Kaduna Zonal Commander of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE Harry Erin when a delegation of the Interfaith Mediation Centre ( IMC) and the MacArthur Foundation paid a working visit to the Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC.

Receiving members of the delegation, Erin, stated that Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, like the Interfaith Mediation Centre and others are veritable instruments in the mobilisation of the public against corrupt practices and the EFCC would always work with them. He particularly emphasised the need for more active support by religious bodies in creating public awareness against economic and financial crimes, stressing that they are proven problem solvers.

Responding, representatives of the Mediation Centre, Reverend Bitrus Dangiw and Samson Auta unanimously agreed that every stakeholder in the fight against economic and financial crimes should go back to the drawing board and locate factors aiding the prevalence of internet-related crimes in the country and proffer solutions to them.
