The leaked document belonging to a Panama based law firm, Mossack Fonseca, exposed many top political leaders and business individuals from all around the world, who maintained shell companies in tax havens.
According to the EFCC Director of Information, Mr. Osita Nwaja,“These papers (Panama Papers) did not emanate from Nigeria but they touch the lives of the people of Nigeria and corruption as well as money laundering have gone beyond national borders as we are seeing from these papers.
“The EFCC is not just a Nigerian organisation. The work that we do goes beyond national borders. So this request will be looked into along with other requests by other well-meaning Nigerians along the already charted course of Mr. President which is zero tolerance to corruption, zero tolerance to impunity, zero tolerance to the abuse of public office and continued subjugation of the Nigerian people.”
