Buhari Suspends Magu After 5 Years As Acting EFCC Chairman by PaulucheBusines: 5:43am On Jul 08, 2020
Magu is facing various allegations of corruption especially in relation to assets recovered by the EFCC.

President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended Ibrahim Magu as the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Magu had been served an impromptu invitation on Monday, July 6, 2020, to appear before a Presidential Panel that reviews the agency's activities.

His summon is believed to have been the result of a recent petition from the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, who accused him of 22 weighty corruption allegations.

His suspension was approved by the president on Tuesday, July 7, according to a report by the BBC.

Magu was questioned for hours on Monday by an inter-agency committee led by a former Court of Appeal judge, Ayo Salami.

He was subsequently detained in custody and will be further questioned on Tuesday.

Magu has been the EFCC's acting chairman since 2015, with his appointment rejected twice by the Senate due to a damaging DSS report about his unsuitability for the role.

The DSS report had accused him of sabotage, unauthorised removal of EFCC files, and acts unbecoming of a police officer.

The Senate refused to confirm Magu on two different occasions, but he was imposed to remain as acting Chairman for three good years
No big deal, as an acting actor, he has acted well.
Next time, every rejection isn't witch hunt or political

Rejection by a group of miscreant and criminal Senators in witch hunting.

Okay. In Nigeria, all corruption fighters end up being humiliated. From Nuhu Ribadu to the woman after him and up to this Magu. Corruption has several lives and it's a ruthless fighter. Even the Angels cannot fight corruption. Corruption always fights back an always wins. So, who loses? The masses of course.
