Speaking at a Press Club luncheon organized by the EACC and the Editors' Guild, Dr. Oginde dismissed claims that the commission is a 'toothless bulldog.'
He said that those who make such statements have simply not yet experienced its full impact.
"The only people who say that are those who have not been arrested by EACC. When we get to you, then you will realise how sharp the teeth are. Just by inviting people to our office, you can see how they tremble," said Oginde.
Further, he stated the importance of asset recovery, stating that stripping corrupt individuals of their illicit gains is a key deterrent.
"It takes a lot of work to be corrupt, believe it or not. These individuals put in extensive effort and take significant risks. If, in the end, they cannot benefit from their corruption, that in itself serves as a deterrent," Oginde said.
