Eze, who led eight other officers of the Nigeria Military Police on a visit to the Acting Chairman, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, at the Commission’s Head Office, Wuse II, Abuja on Tuesday, February 27, 2018 said “the fight against corruption requires the collaborative support of all and sundry, most especially the military for it to be won”.

He said the visit was part of civil-military relationship geared towards strengthening the collaboration between the Nigerian Army and the EFCC.

“I am here as part of civil-military relationship to strengthen the collaboration between our unit and the EFCC which has been in the fore front of the fight against corruption in Nigeria”, Eze said.

According to him, the visit was also “to maintain smooth liaison with the EFCC” to facilitate quick response in case any of the institutions need the other’s assistance.
“We want to leverage on the existing structure put in place by the EFCC in achieving results in investigation and monitoring of people on issues that have to do with corruption in the security sector”, he added.
