Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, has called for the prosecution of those he described as detractors in the fight against corruption in the country.

Professor Soyinka made the call at the opening of his Vision of the Child Art Exhibition, 2017 edition, at Freedom Park, Lagos with the theme: Enhance the Heritage; Advance the Future, in celebrating Lagos at 50.

He said most times, the anti-corruption agency was sent on the wrong track or wild goose chase, resulting to no prosecution.

Soyinka, who commended the art works of the children, expressed the hope that with children exposing the corruption acts of the adults Nigeria would be in for better days.

Speaking, the Acting Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, said the commission’s operation was not limited to investigation and prosecution of offenders, but also to enlighten the public on the dangers of corruption.

Magu said the painting exhibition was one way to educate and enlighten people about corruption, stressing that the paintings exposed some ways in which adults were involved in corrupt practices.

He said the EFCC was not personal in the discharge of its mandate; stressing that its personnel only fear God, with the guiding principles by the Rule of Law and the overriding interest of the country.

According to Correspondent, Babajide Alli-balogun, thirty-eight students selected from different schools, participated in literary and painting works at the exhibition.
