How can the particular person in command of coping with corruption & corrupt individuals be arrested for a similar factor he claimed to be curbing?

If It’s true that Ibrahim Magu (EFCC Boss) is arrested by DSS,then the President & his advisers don’t fee us in any respect.

Are we a joke to those individuals?
