EFCC Chairman Magu May Have Been Sacked, EFCC Debunks Claim
There are
indications that acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu may have been sacked by the presidency.
The Guardian
reports that the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of
justice, Mr Abubakar Malami SAN has directed the acting EFCC boss to vacate his
seat and hand over the reins to the director of operations at EFCC.
Magu is also to
return to the Nigeria Police Force according to sources who spoke with the
Guardian.
President Buhari
had directed the AGF to investigate the corruption claims against Magu and
other senior government officials.
According to
Sahara Reporters, Mr Malami has submitted the report of his investigations into
allegations against Magu to the president.
But the EFCC has
swiftly responded to this claim.
“Not true”,
Mr Wilson Uwujaren spokesman of the commission, had succinctly said in
response to an SMS enquiry by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Saturday
morning.#
While that brief
response seems very underwhelming, it will be interesting to see how the story
develops over the next couple of days.
