The acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has insisted that Coronavirus was made by some scientists with corrupt minds.

THE WHISTLER reported how the EFCC boss first made claim while delivering his speech at the passing out parade of 281 cadets of the EFCC Detective Inspector Course-5 in Kaduna recently.
Following the heavy criticism and ridicule that trailed Magu’s claim, the anti-graft agency denied reports that its chairman said coronavirus was caused by corruption.
But Magu, on Wednesday, maintained his stand that the deadly virus was a product of corrupt minds.
“The corruption viruses (SIC) was a creation by a corrupt mind. Somebody actually created corruption viruses.

“Somebody deliberately sat down in the lab and came up with the creation of the coronaviruses…to destroy other people,” said the EFCC boss, adding that, “Who else is more corrupt than that, so it is created by a corrupt mind. I still insist that Coronavirus is caused by corruption.”
