Activist lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has faulted the argument that the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu can continue in acting capacity despite being rejected by the Senate as substantive chairman of the anti-graft agency, stating that the anti-graft agency is too sensitive to be headed by a rejected candidate.

Speaking in a statement forwarded to DAILY POST on Friday, the Lagos lawyer reasoned that the December 14 rejection of Magu by the Senate means that the operations of the EFCC after the Upper Chamber’s decision will be deemed as illegal.

He warned that if the acting EFCC chairman continues in office as acting chairman after Thursday’s development, it would give the impression that Magu has been appointed to do a hatchet job, stressing that his continued stay in office after the rejection would make the EFCC unable to institute court cases or arrest any citizen.

The issues raised in the report of the DSS in relation to Magu cannot be overlooked, as in similar or less weighty circumstances, the EFCC, under Magu, has preferred criminal charges against such suspects, followed with media blitz. After all, the reason that the Hon Just Ofili Ajumogobia is in court facing trial is for her inability to account for her lavish possessions. If an ex policeman is living in a luxurious N40m apartment and cruising in private jets, he should be put on trial in the dock, as he has done to others.

We cannot have such weighty allegations of corrupt enrichment hanging over a man who is to investigate and prosecute others.
Prior to Mr Magu’s appointment, a serious allegation of corruption was made against his predecessor in office, but we have never heard of any effort made by the EFCC since Magu took over, on that case.

This man is on the verge of overtaking Gani Fawahimi

Magu can no longer parade himself as chairman otherwise he's subject to arrest for impersonation.

This is the Nigerian Senate we can be proud of... Well done Saraki and the other Senators for stopping this crooked policeman that was sacked by Farida Waziri

Very true

Magu is toast ..The hunter has turned to bush meat

Oyaaaaa...... Where's my laptop?

We need to recorrupt the fantastically corrupt country with our corrupt mind.

EFCC, I'm waiting.

"If u don't read d newspaper u are nt informed and if u read it u are misinformed "

Magu is a Buhari's puppet

Is okay ooooo

, pls tell the dumb supporters, I wonder how such person was picked to be efcc chairman. A parochialcorrupt man fighting corruption, no one is talking of the dss report that indicted magu. U see hypocrites not mentioning anything about the report by dss they are busy insulting the Senate as if they were the ones that wrote the report, but they are quick to praise the dss on the judges raid.

Buhari don't obey court orders!!!!

Magu don't obey legislature's order

Nnamdi Kanu won't obey Justice Binta Nyarko's order

It's obvious, corruption war isn't meant for the elite.

I knew Saraki and Dagoro would frustrate Buhari, EFCC and Magu.

After all, "stealing is not corruption"

OK. When you're arrested nko? What will you do?

Now these are the kinda arguements I expect from the legal minds on NL, not just running around claiming to be "learned collegues".
Just the way CCB bungled Saraki's case at the tribunal, any case hence institututed by the efcc may just be thrown out by the courts. Interesting times ahead.
Learned collegues, over to you

Magu must go. He is Buhari puppet. He should go back to road block. Once any politician criticise the government Magu would be launched to attack. Why was FFK arrested repeatedly?

Miss Ngene where are you peeping from??

If this is what will give this our Unable Sinators headache then MAGU must stay as the EFCC's Boss. We are waiting for the 2019 to flush this selfish criminals out of that House of Assembly.

Magu must go! He stinks of corruption too.

Itse Sagay still wants to earn a salary after misleading Magu into thinking that impunity will go unpunished.


Now he is still misleading him unto thinking that wether nigerians like it or not Magu will continue as chairman.


Lets wait and see who blinks first.

Those senators don't want to sign their death warrant. I think you all should read saharareporters twitter handle

!!! Serve Buhari right
When Jagaban was trying to remove the Saboteur(Saraki)they were calling for his head
Now all Buhari's appointment,SGF,Ministers,EFCC chairman are under fire from the senate (i read somewhere Senate are debating on bill to fire non performing ministers).They are even stripping Buhari off his powers when he is alive
Buhari need jagaban! and he must take a very deadly step to remove Saraki by force through CCB
Otherwise APC government will not know peace till 2019
Jagaban is soothsayer! he is able to foresee what will happen tommorow
The major obstacle to this government is Saraki and he must be destroyed before its too late

Hmmm,one dy d bush meat go catch d hunter.am begining to nairaland serious

Only that compromised and idiotic criminal itse Sagay thinks otherwise.

If not for Bukola Saraki, I wonder what would have been the fate of Nigeria as of date.

where are we heading to in this country?



yahoo boys be like......



any pix to support

The End

I used to respect Sagay. That was when he consults his law books before giving any legal opinion but now, I think he consults Naira first. Then, he was a professor of law but now, I don't even know what to call his opinions which sharply contradict what he earlier opined.

U see

Buhari should bring Nigeria back to where he pick us from... Corruption fight my dog asss.
Looting from looters. Darkness fighting darkness
Hardship everywhere...

Thunder visit those that voted him and more Hardship to those that still support him.
Amen.
