There are indications that the Acting Chairman of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has been removed
from office, Guardian is reporting.
The report quoted a source as saying Magu was redeployed back
to the Nigeria Police Force, NPF.
Magu’s redeployment back to the Nigerian Police Force is to
pave way for a fresh person to be nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The report disclosed that the Attorney General of the
Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has already issued a
letter to Magu on this development and directed that he hands over to the
Director of Operations in the Commission.
However, the Presidency in its reaction, described the
report as “speculative and preemptive.”
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the AGF is yet to inform the Presidency on
such development.
Shehu, on his twitter handle, wrote: “We are reading reports
that the @officialEFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu has been sacked.
“No report has been made available to the Presidency by the
Attorney General of the federation over the matter.
“The report of his sack is therefore speculative and
preemptive.”
