Magu spoke on Thursday while delivering a lecture at this year’s Batch “B” orientation course at the National Youth Service Corps orientation camp ground in Iseyin, Oyo State.
The EFCC chairman, who spoke through the Zonal Head of the commission’s Ibadan zonal office, Friday Ebelo, noted that the only way youths could effectively avoid crimes was by ensuring that they do not give space for evil thoughts to germinate in their hearts. He said: “It often takes a process to get involved in crime. You must, therefore, be careful about what manner of thought you allow to dominate your mind.“It is equally important that you choose carefully the kind of people you associate with because that also influences what you give priority to in your heart.”
Relating his message with the commission’s statistics of arrests, arraignment and conviction of youths involved in criminal activities in recent times, Magu stressed that many were persuaded into criminal act due to their choice of providing unbridled access to all shades of evil thoughts.Magu said: “There is no shortcut to wealth and fame. Acts of criminality might deliver wealth in the short-run, but ultimately, there will be misery and gnashing of teeth.
