*6.2.1 Relationship with EFCC*

The establishment of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission in 2003 which was a law enforcement body meant to investigate financial crimes. The goal of ICPC is to target corruption in the public sector such as bribery, misuse of power, diversion of public funds, among others. While the operation of the EFCC covers everybody suspected to be involved in illegal activities, that is people seen to be living above their earnings, people are linked to Internet fraud or advance fee fraud (419). ICPC only takes care of the corrupt practices in the public sector. Although there has been reasonable tension between both agencies because, it is believed that the creation of EFCC, an agency that performs similar functions with the already established ICPC, is nothing but a duplication of roles. The fact remains that both bodies have important roles to play judging from the wide spread of corruption in Nigeria.
