The senate has yet again rejected the nomination of Ibrahim
Magu as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Magu was rejected after the senators voted against his
confirmation.
Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, had cited a
fresh security report from the Department of State Services (DSS).
The lawmakers said the anti-graft czar “failed integrity
test.”
The senate had rejected Magu’s nomination in December after
the DSS indicted him in a report.
The anti-graft czar was accused of corruption and “gross
violation of human rights”. He was also alleged to be in possession “of
undeclared pieces of property.”
After denying all the allegations, President Muhammadu
Buhari renominated him in January.
Magu was appointed in November 2015, following the sack of
Ibrahim Lamorde.
