Ibrahim Lamorde- EFCC-boss 

                      The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it garnered 126 convictions last year.
                      This was a significant improvement from that of 2013 when it recorded 117 convictions.
  The commission said that contrary to insinuations in some quarters that the war against graft had been compromised under President Goodluck Jonathan, no fewer than 243 convictions have been recorded in the past two years.
The EFCC also disclosed that there was no more safe haven for corrupt Nigerians anywhere in the world as it has signed agreements with no less than 20 entities in
Africa, Europe, Asia and America.
Briefing journalists in Enugu on Tuesday, the Commission’s Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed that though corruption remained a major challenge facing the nation, the anti-graft agency is committed to effectively put an end to it.
He said that it has not abandoned ongoing cases against some former governors as being alleged in some quarters, but that the cases were progressing in different courts.
Uwujaren noted that the delay tactics of some defence counsels were still a major challenge to most of their pending cases.
