Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said there is no hiding place for politicians defecting from one party to another as they will still be prosecuted by the anti-graft agency.
Rumours have been spreading that some politicians joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to prevent being prosecuted by the commission.
But Magu while addressing some Editors today said there was no hiding place for those politicians. 
“The fact that a politician jumps from one party to another will not stop EFCC investigation; we don’t stop investigation until it is concluded,” he said.
“It is only the courts that have the powers to decide on whether to exonerate or convict any indicted politician,” said the EFCC chairman.”
Responding to alleged interference by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Magu said he had never received any instruction to stop any investigation.
“I am not the type you’ll ask to stop any investigation”, Magu said.
Magu said it has become culture for anyone being investigated to tag it as political persecution.
“With the general election fast approaching, the resistance has assumed even frightening dimension with political motives imputed to most of our activities,” he said.
According to Magu, the media owes Nigeria a duty not to allow the corrupt to deploy their ill-gotten riches to corner the machinery of government.
The EFCC chief, therefore, urged the media not to lend their platforms to helping the cause of the corrupt that were “shedding crocodile tears”.
“We must all do what is right for our country, which is ensuring that those who steal our common patrimony are brought to justice,” Magu said.
“You have not seen anything yet, we have not even touched 10 percent of corruption perpetrated in the past,” he said.
