There is a developing fear of a likely cover-up in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the ongoing investigation of its suspended chairman, Ibrahim Magu, as some unknown people allegedly broke into the new office of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and destroyed computers containing certain vital and sensitive documents that could help in the investigation.

This development, THISDAY gathered, followed the appearance of some officials of the NFIU before the Justice Ayo Salami panel, investigating Magu Thursday, to clarify certain grey areas especially, as relating to some accounts suspected to have been used to move money.

But the NFIU officials told the panel that by their operational protocols and procedure, they don’t go about with such documents. The officials however, advised members of the panel to visit their office Friday morning to sight the documents requested for.

Unfortunately, for them, before the panel members got to the NFIU office this morning, it was gathered that some unknown people had broken into their office, went straight to the room, where the documents were stored in the computers and destroyed them all.

It is worthy of mention that the NFIU was the agency that investigated all the allegations of financial malfeasance against Magu, in addition to the fact that the agency was only recently severed from the EFCC.

However, following the development, THISDAY sources, hinted that the Director-General of NFIU, Mr. Modibbo Hamman-Tukur, met with President Muhammadu Buhari immediately after to report the incident, a situation sources believed informed the decision by President Buhari to approve Magu’s suspension.

Meanwhile, the burgling of the NFIU office is the latest twist to the Magu trial and is already being investigated, sources added.

Some people are desperate to eliminate all traces of the N4bn transfer documents

In these days of digital technology? A terrible cover up is going on.Magu's EFCC is desperate.The magnitude of corruption in Nigeria today is horrible.

Na wa. This country has been completely messed

Lugard and his harlot Flora Shaw.

I know you guys can’t Rest In Peace.

Unfortunately, for them, before the panel members got to the NFIU office this morning, it was gathered that some unknown people had broken into their office, went straight to the room, where the documents were stored in the computers and destroyed them all.

Obviously, this is orchestrated by the inside cult group in the EFCC called “the Magu Boys” or “the Chairman Squad as alleged by Senator Sheu Sani.

“They are a select cream of vicious and cruel officers who operate exclusively and with impunity and only report directly to their boss.

Unknown persons indeed, as though they were masquerades or alliens. When we are serious in this country then we'll know what progress is. For now we are swimming in deceit and cover-ups.

This is an expensive shit from the clueless government of APC led by buhari!

However, there should be a back-up somewhere.

Change indeed!

Who will be the next to fire?

The dirt dug up already in just a few days of Magu's trial already paled Dasuki's case into insignificance.

back up is for blackmail purposes in future, Magu will be given a soft landing

Nigeria is a Joke.

You are saying the same NFIU that Malami probably employed to compile Magu's dossier are the same people covering for him?
This looks scary!

Big joke my brother. We need a major event to have the real change. Reason people like Nnamdi Kanu makes a lot of sense to me.

The Country is beyond repair, my opinion though.

This is serious. I blame Buhari for all of this. The DSS advised him five years ago about the skeletons in Magu's cupboard and Saraki led Senate refused to confirm Magu despite intimidations and blackmails from the presidency and misinformed Zombies.

We now know that Saraki is a patriotic and courageous Senate president, unlike the rubber stamp senate leadership we now have.

I found it rather curious that with his alleged integrity, PMB appointed and supported a known thief to catch unknown thieves.

After 2023, the stealing and corruptions that will be discovered under the watch of PMB, may be monumental!

What an act of desperation

Nigeria is a joke.
Buhari's government is redefining corruption and I hope Oxford dictionary will be updated.

Im saying Magu knows too much to be allowed to stand trial. If he ate ten naira, it’s beca someone ate a thousand naira and gave him that piece.

It's a vicious cycle!

Seems the office is a lone one in a thick forest.

No security at all

Yea

Going to their main office during work hours on appointment is hell.

His manhood will indeed be remembered after he's long gone.

unknown people broke-in in such top and important office just like that?? RCCG pastor sha..

Destroying computers is not enough to destroy evidence. With advanced digital forensic, evidence can be retrieved.

wait no backup

We are back to the reign of unknown soldiers. Unknown people indeed.
