* Suspended EFCC chair risks prosecution

* Nobody above scrutiny – Presidency

* Security operatives search Magu’s houses

* We’re watching unfolding events – Sagay

The presidency is shopping for a possible replacement of Ibrahim Magu, the suspended chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Daily Trust learnt yesterday. The names of four people including a retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG), a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) and two serving police commissioners have been pencilled, Daily Trust was told. This is coming as the Presidential Panel led by Justice Ayo Salami, a former President of the Court of Appeal, continued with its interrogation of the embattled Magu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Credible sources said ahead of the invitation of Magu on Monday, the Salami panel had recommended for his suspension “to pave the way for a free investigation in line with standard procedures.” A top presidency source told Daily Trust last night that Magu was asked to step aside to allow for proper investigation of the allegations levelled against him.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said, “You know that anybody undergoing this kind of investigation cannot be allowed to continue to occupy the office. “The continued stay in office of someone being investigated does not happen anywhere. If Magu is allowed to continue to occupy the office, some of these allegations and records would be distorted.

No serious investigation can take place when the person affected is still operating. “It is given that somebody undergoing a probe of this magnitude cannot continue to occupy his or her office. From the moment he appeared before the committee yesterday (Monday), you should know that he was no longer going back to the office while still facing the panel investigating him,” he said.

Another source said the suspension of Magu does not mean that he had been indicted or finally removed from office. “His suspension is the ideal thing to do in order to douse tension and while he is being interrogated, the EFCC must continue to do its job; I want to assure you that someone would soon be announced to act. “If found wanting by the Justice Salami panel, the president will definitely relieve Magu of his appointment as head of the EFCC and then the Police Service Commission (PSC) will carry on from there…T

hey have the right to take action in line with the guidelines and conditions of service of the Police Force,” he said. Our correspondents report that there was no formal announcement of Magu’s suspension by the presidency as at press time yesterday. But a source said he would not be allowed to go home yet.

“He will only be allowed to go home after the panel says they are done with him; this could be any moment from now and it will depend on the outcome of the interrogation,” he said.

Only to end up with another mean corrupt and willing witch-hunting tool in abbokki body.

Magu is a great disappointment to only the presidency that trusted and relief on him against all odds, despite serious advice from the Senate who rejected his nomination twice.
I think he ended up as an acting actor for the past three years he was on seat
Good riddance to bad rubbish

na only Northerners is saint to these politicians, no southerners is fit according to their dull mentality. all the Northerners that had headed the organization left with a lot of controversies and financial conspiracies



these modern northerners are thieves and social media have really given them enough reason to acquire wealth which make them the same with southern counterpart

EFCC chairman must come from the south to tame the message that only Northern can be trusted when it's obvious they're thieves too

He was allowed to stay that long to be replaced by another northern.

A credible person is all we need.

Sack service chiefs

He is sacking Magu

Magu knew his fate

Ribadu got humiliated
Lamorde got humiliated
Farida got humiliated
Magu also would get humiliated

But in the end he would come out strong

.

Aw

It is well. In a country without credible public officers. Our institutions are largely exposed and it is very unfortunate that the replacement is not going to be better

Such a shame.. someone fighting corruption is even corrupt. The only thing they will do is replace him instead of putting him in jail. This is very shameful. Very very shameful.

To end the first page of this thread...
Let's contribute our quota......

Under the Muhammadu Buhari administration, nobody is above scrutiny.
The investigation is to reinforce transparency and accountability, rather than to vitiate it.

“Accountability for our actions or inactions is an inalienable part of democracy.
In such an elevated position as that of EFCC Chairman, the holder of the position must be above suspicion.

“There’s no prejudgment — absolutely none. The Buhari administration can be counted on to uphold fairness and justice at all times.”

This is unprecedented in the history of our nation.
GOD BLESS PMB for all the he is doing to make this country work again.
MAY all the enemies of the country be put to shame and die miserably in their frustration.
May they all die in the zoos like animals they believe they are.
Past administration will be shouting power of immunity, looting criminals.
NIGERIA will be great again in our lifetime.

Again, God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari.

A man after God's heart.
