The fight against corruption is a tough fight the Buhari government has been fighting since he stepped into government, and in doing so, gave power to all independent agencies responsible for corruption in the country.

The agency has been lukewarm during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, and since the new government seems to have gotten back to action.

The spokesperson of EFCC,Wilson Uwujare, confirmed the news, he said :
