Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) Mr Ibrahim Magu, has expressed confidence that the judgement stopping the commission from investigating Rivers State governors on money laundering crime will not stand. Magu disclosed this Magu described Rivers State as the state next to Lagos State in money laundering crime saying that the reason for the rate of money laundering crime in the State was because of the nature of its oil business terrain. “I think Rivers State is the next to Lagos in terms of crime, this is the headquarter of money laundering because there is a lot of oil money, bunkers money here. “That decision that is pending in the Supreme Court cannot hold water again, there is a subsequent judgement that has discarded it. Clearly, there are other judgements that came up and said nobody, not even the judge, not even the Judiciary, not even the court can stop us from investigating and prosecuting them, “EFCC Boss said.
