``We want to be sure that there is transparency, accountability and judicious use of the money allocated to IDPs in Maiduguri and elsewhere.

``What we are doing is gathering intelligence but the culprits behind the sufferings in the IDPs camps will be invited sooner or later by the EFCC,” he said.

The EFCC boss further said plans were underway to sensitise women and children in Borno on the ills of corruption.

``I will bring in civil societies and women groups in Borno in the fight against corruption and we will equally organise a workshop for them similar to the one we held for children in Abuja.’’

Magu said the workshop would serve as an instrument to educate them on the ills of corruption.
