IF HE LIKE HE SHOULD ALSO WEAR SACK CLOTH AND POUR ASHES ON HIS HEAD THATS HES PROBLEM HE SHOULD FACE THE FULL WRATH OF THE LAW. ALSO HIS REMOVAL SHOULD NOT MEAN ALL MAGUS HIGH PROFILE CASES SHOULD BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG INSTEAD HIS POSITION SHOULD BE OCCUPIED BY A MORE RUTHLESS PERSON WHO HAS A CLEAN TRACK RECORD. THIS WOULD ENSURE THE NATIONS LOOTERS DO NOT WIN THE WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION

. Magu is CP for goodness sake

What has his rank got to do with it? Past and present government officials were locked up in police cells and prison yards. He effected the detention of many of such people. Is he in anyway bigger than them?

Orji Uzor Kalu battled his way and is still battling. Past governors are still battling. They used their so called loot to secure the services of high profile lawyers. Now that he can easily afford it, let him get their services, battle his way and clear his name. If he is successful he will return to the police just like Lamorde, his predecessor. As a CP he can become the CP of your state, but definitely subject to the IGP.

See power has left him and his hands. One day PMB will vacate that seat. Even PMB's children who are enjoying power presently will once again have a feel of how the country is. Now power is in the hands of even the security men at the gates of FCID.

If e do anyhow e see anyhow...as they say.

Sleep in the mosque, meaning what? That he is a devoted Muslim or what? When the jamboree was in progress, how many times did he visit the mosque?

What I know is that when you are to be detained in the police cell, it is not optional. So how comes he was allowed to sleep in the mosque? Has his prayers for bail been answered? If not, the police must be very stupid for allowing him to sleep anywhere outside cell. undecided

You are 100% correct. He should man up and face the consequences of his actions and stop all this begging for sympathy. Is he in detention or on holiday? All this 'soft landing' and him choosing where to sleep must stop.

About time Nigeria started treating looters and corrupt officials like the common thieves that they are.

Magu shuns police cell, sleeps in mosque

•Police management team abandons him

•Says, he should carry his cross

•Buhari endorses his suspension, approves Umar as Ag. Chairman

Suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, who is currently facing trial before the Presidential Investigation Panel over allegations of corruption levelled against him has reportedly shunned the cell of the Force Criminal Investigations Department, FCID and turned the mosque in the premises of the police headquarters as his abode where he has spent his fourth night.

As he embarked on the battle of his life, the police management team was said to have abandoned him to his fate to carry his own cross following his refusal to identify with the police hierarchy while his reign as the commission’s boss lasted.

Information from the FCID, yesterday, revealed that Magu now spends his night inside a mosque at Zone 10 office of FCID, Abuja where he was ordered to be detained pending the outcome of his trial.

Sources intimated Saturday Vanguard that though he was supposed to be kept inside the cell at the Zone 10 office of FCID, Abuja, he normally spends hours behind the counter in front of the cell and after appearing at presidential panel headed by the former President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami, he would be brought back and later taken to the mosque midnight where he passed the up till Thursday.

Though it was not possible to ascertain whether he slept on a bed or on the ground, sources said his relatives must have been making provision for him to sleep comfortably inside the mosque on a special arraignment with the police. It was gathered that FCID, Zone 10, has been well fortified since Magu was detained there and extra efforts have been made to scrutinize both officers and men working there including visitors. However, sources said there was a directive that no visitor should be allowed to enter the premises of the department in the night.

Furthermore, it was gathered that the police management team met early yesterday and took far reaching decisions over Magus’s trial. Police sources said the management team decided that the embattled Commissioner of Police should be made to carry his cross based on the fact that while he was presiding over EFCC, he deliberately failed to respect senior police officers and never attended senior officers meetings chaired by the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Adamu Muhammed. The IGP reportedly summoned the meeting with the Force Chief Legal Officer, CP Augstine Salomi in attendance where the decision was taken.

President Muhammadu Buhari, has reportedly warned serving Ministers, Senior Police Officers and top government officials not to be seen offering any assistance over the case. It was also gathered that the Presidential panel has given the directors and senior staff of EFCC seven days to come up with all files containing cases handled under Ibrahim Magu from 2018 till date.

Last Tuesday, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and riot policemen stormed Mr Magu’s private home in Karu and his official residence in Maitama in Abuja which they ransacked.

Magu was arrested on Monday and taken before the presidential panel where he was grilled for over six hours before being taken to the FCID headquarters in Area 10, Garki, Abuja where he retires to after daily interrogation at the panel.

The panel was constituted by President Buhari to investigate allegations of corruption levelled against him by the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami. The memo by Malami allegedly accused Magu of diversion of recovered loot and contained 22 allegations.

According to sources, efforts were being made to find a good replacement for Ibrahim Magu. Many names including serving and retired top police officers and even civilians had been touted. Sources said most of the names being bandied in the past few days really cropped up for consideration but the presidency rejected them with a promise not to make the mistake made over Magu.

The name of a retired top officer from the north in the Department of Security Services, DSS, was reportedly penciled down by the Presidency but, sources close to the presidency said the name of a retired police Commissioner from Benue state who once headed FCID, Abuja, Special Anti-robbery Squad, SARS, Lagos in their early days etc was seriously under consideration based on his unblemished records and achievements recorded in crime fighting and investigations while in service.

The Commissioner of Police, Saturday Vanguard learned, was credited with successfully carrying out a campaign against corruption as a Commissioner of Police in Anambra State. He reportedly took his men with placards marching on the streets and denouncing corruption with a view to portraying the Nigeria Police Force in the proper light. He also cracked many other high profile cases while serving in Lagos including the tragic story of Nigeria Airways first pilot, Captain Hadiza Lantana Oboh who was brutally killed on 8th February, 1998 and her body dumped inside a septic tank by her domestic servants. As at last count, names of many top serving and retired police officers including those of their sister security agencies that were submitted, have been dropped.

Meanwhile, as all these were going on, the presidency yesterday announced that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate suspension of Ibrahim Magu as Acting Chairman of the EFCC. According to the presidency, the suspension was in order to allow for unhindered inquiry by the Presidential Investigation Panel under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act and Other relevant laws.

The presidency said President Buhari has also approved that the EFCC Director of Operations, Mohammed Umar should take charge and oversee the activities of the Commission pending the conclusion of the ongoing investigation and further directives in that regards.

The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami stated this yesterday in a statement by his spokesman, Umar Gwandu.

The statement read in part: “President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate suspension of Ibrahim Magu as Ag. Chairman, EFCC in order to allow for unhindered inquiry by the Presidential Investigation Panel under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act and other relevant laws.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has also approved that the EFCC Director of Operations, Mohammed Umar should take charge and oversee the activities of the Commission pending the conclusion of the ongoing investigation and further directives in that regards”.

BUHARI AND HIS LOPSIDED APPOINTMENTS

MAGU successors is supposed to be a southerner.

Here we are Buhari refusing to take corrections.

He was even drag to a federal court due to his lopsided appointment but he refuse to take correction.

Thank God Obasanjo and Jonathan are alive to see how a northerner can behave when it comes to federal power.

Both Obasanjo and Jonathan appointed northerners respecting the federal character code.

But Buhari refuse to follow federal character.

They better scrap the federal character commision.

But when powers come to the south the north should not cry of oppression.

NA THEM THEY OPPRESS NOW O!

If he likes he should sleep inside the toilet it is none of our business, he has slept in mansions when he was the Chairman.

Many Nigerians are homeless and are sleeping in Mosques, Churches and even by the road side.
Magu sleeping in the Mosque is not a big deal.

He should cooperate with the panel or they should just remand him in prison.

Why would they even allow him not to sleep in cell, they should bundle the criminal inside cell.

How are you sure the Panel members probing him are free from corrupt practices and crimes, past and present?

"Let's start from someone," or put in another word, "Let us probe those whose allegations are flying here & there!" I concur!

I pity him because unlike Lamorde, and Waziri he gave Yahoo boys plea bargain and many got very light sentences

Last last he would come out stronger, because Buhari and Malami can't take Magu to an open court without him washing their dirty linens outside
How strong? After losing all his loot? And even the ones legitimately given to him? He can't survive this onslaught bro. This is the end of his career. Nigerians don't forgive remember. 10 years from today someone will quote this matter. Edo state! It happened there.

Sleep in the mosque, meaning what? That he is a devoted Muslim or what? When the jamboree was in progress, how many times did he visit the mosque?

What I know is that when you are to be detained in the police cell, it is not optional. So how comes he was allowed to sleep in the mosque? Has his prayers for bail been answered? If not, the police must be very stupid for allowing him to sleep anywhere outside cell . undecided
Just like we had similar thoughts.
