The Cable | 12/11/2015
No matter how many times you google his name, you are most unlikely to get any useful information or any high res photograph — that is if you get any photograph at all. In fact, Ibrahim Magu has only one photograph in the public space, taken by James Wallace of NPR. The pixels are so small you will struggle to see his face.
Welcome to the world of Magu, a deputy commissioner of police and the newly appointed acting chairman of the EFCC. His little frame will easily deceive you, but he is one of the toughest interrogators the anti-graft commission has had in its history — one that even former governors under investigation specifically begged not to be interrogated by.
“Magu is the toughest interrogator you can ever think of. When he grills suspects, they sweat even in the coldest of rooms. He takes his time, does not rush his questions but he can question you for a whole day and wear you down,”
A former governor told The Cable of his experience in 2006. “We used to plead with Ribadu that he should not allow Magu to grill us, that we would rather be grilled by another officer.” The Borno-born officer is a “tough cop”, a senior lawyer told TheCable, recalling the day Nuhu Ribadu, the former EFCC chairman, asked Magu to release someone from detention and ask him to come back. “Magu, while saluting Ribadu, said, ‘We shall release him, Sir, after he has answered our questions.’ That was how tough he was with suspects. He was not easily moved by emotions,” he said.
FEARED MORE THAN RIBADU
Magu was feared more than Ribadu, who was removed as the anti-graft czar in controversial circumstances in 2007 by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. Ribadu was understood to be a victim of power play as Yar’Adua political associates, led by James Ibori, former governor of Delta state, sought to castrate the agency. Ibori is currently serving a jail sentence in the UK. Not only was Ribadu removed from the commission through a controversial re-posting and an order to proceed to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), his core team was effectively dismantled.
Ibrahim Lamorde, who was removed by President Muhammadu Buhari as EFCC chairman on Monday, was posted to Ningi, Bauchi state, while Magu was sent to Delta state, Ibori’s territory. “When he was posted to Delta, he was so surprised that he said, ‘Why don’t you just tie me up and shoot me rather than post me to Ibori’s domain?’ It was a cynical posting and there were fears that it was a deliberate plot to get rid of him,” an EFCC insider told The Cable.

This needs to be put in its proper context. Magu was one of the officers who investigated Ibori and came up with the indictment that was used against him in court. The eventual weakening of EFCC was linked to this particular case, and posting Mangu to Delta was bound to be seen as not just humiliation but also an indirect sentence to live in fear. He eventually spent only three weeks in Delta before he was given another posting, and at some point attempts were made to retire him from the police so that he does not raise his head again.
Ribadu, his erstwhile boss, was dismissed from the force at the height of his struggles as he engaged the powers that be in a public spat. The federal might ended his career abruptly, although former President Goodluck Jonathan converted his dismissal to retirement in 2010 after Ribadu won a court case. Magu, meanwhile, was in the wilderness of his life, unable to fit into the proper police force as his talent and training were being wasted in routine police duties. For a long time, he remained an assistant commissioner of police without any hopes of being promoted. But some bit of fortune smiled on him when Lamorde was appointed EFCC chairman by Jonathan in 2011. Lamorde brought Magu back into the EFCC, and the Borno-born officer began to find fulfilment again.
TOP INVESTIGATOR
Magu, apart from the Ibori, was also involved in big investigations, including the Halliburton bribery scandal. No government has acted on the report which indicted top government officials. The corruption allegations were related to the natural liquefied gas project which came under intense international scrutiny, with the US government handing out indictments and heavy fines. Recently, Magu was appointed by the government of Buhari to investigate the purchase of arms by the armed forces under the previous administration.

The 14-man panel is investigating how some of the retired military chiefs spent the votes for arms while they were in office. The panel, inaugurated by Babagana Monguno, the national security adviser, was asked to investigate, among others, $466.5m contract to weaponise six Puma helicopters by Jonathan administration; N3billion contract for the supply of six units of K-38 patrol boats to the disbanded Presidential Implementation Committee on Maritime Security (PICOMSS) and theft of over €200m by PICOMMS, including the purchase of two private jets.
Other allegations were: the $9.3m cash-for-arms deal seized by South Africa; whereabouts of $1billion loan approved by the 7th senate for arms purchase to fight Boko Haram; what became of unaccessed N7b budget for the military and the contract for the rehabilitation of the Military Reference Hospital in Kaduna.

Little did Magu know that he was only preparing to become the country’s anti-corruption czar.

Dino maleye d self aclaimed Private Investigator could not even use a simple Google search to learn 1 or 2tins B4 screaming PROBE

The Central Bank of Nigeria has recovered N8.6 billion deducted by a Lagos-based software firm, SystemSpecs, which provided the e-Payment/e-Collection solution used for the transfer of government funds from commercial banks to the treasury single account (TSA) domiciled with it, THISDAY investigations have revealed.

The central bank, according to sources in the CBN, directed the company which owns the Remita software platform used for the funds transfer, when it was discovered that SystemSpecs had deducted as much as N8.6 billion for the remittance of government funds from banks to the TSA in the last few weeks.

Throwing more light on the e-Payment/e-Collection Remita software, which the Senate on Wednesday resolved to probe, CBN sources said the implementation of the modular solution was approved by the former CBN Governor who is currently the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, and former CBN Deputy Governor, Operations, Mr. Tunde Lemo, in 2011 to facilitate the transfer of government revenue to the TSA.

On Wednesday, the Senate had ordered its joint Committee on Finance, Banking and Other Financial Institutions and Public Accounts to probe the allegation that the e-Collection agent, Remita, had been paid 25 billion, being the 1 per cent commission it charged for the transfer of N2.5 trillion of federal government funds to the TSA.

The motion, which was moved by Senator Dino Melaye and adopted by the Senate, held that the N25 billion payment was in gross violation of Section 162(1) of the 1999 Constitution which states that “the federation shall maintain a special account to be called the federation account into which all revenues collected by the government of the federation except the proceeds from the personal income tax of the personnel of the Armed Forces of the Federation, the Nigeria Police Force, the ministry or department of government charged with foreign affairs and the residents of the FCT, Abuja”.

However, investigations by THISDAY showed that Remita was not an agent or company, but the software platform used for the transfers, while SystemSpecs, whose Managing Director is Mr. John Obaro, is the owner of e-Payment/e-Collection solution.
The company’s website further revealed that the chairman of SystemSpecs is the former Director General of the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, Dr. Christopher Kolade.

Other directors of the company include a former Executive Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Mr. Ernest Ndukwe, Mr. Emmanuel Ocholi, Mr. ‘Deremi Atanda and Dr. Emmanuel Eze.

Remita, which has been adopted by the CBN as the e-Payment and e-Collection platform of the federal government, is currently used by all 22 commercial banks and over 400 microfinance banks nationwide.

CBN sources informed THISDAY that contrary to the assertion of the Senate that N25 billion had been paid to SystemSpecs, it was N8.6 billion that was deducted by the company for the transfer of N1.5 trillion since the enforcement of the TSA by the current administration in the last few weeks.

“Remita is an e-Payment/e-Collection software that has been in place since 2011, because the TSA transfers started under the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

“It was Tunde Lemo’s baby and approved by former Governor Sanusi for the transfer of funds to the TSA.
“But when it was discovered that SystemSpecs had deducted about N8.6 billion for the recent TSA transfers of N1.5 trillion, we immediately asked them to reverse the deduction, which they complied with.

“The issue was brought to the attention of the president (Muhammadu Buhari) and he asked that the money be returned immediately which is what has happened.

“Going forward, it is our intention to review the contract on the software, because the CBN has its own software for e-Payments and e-Collections,” a CBN official, who did not want to be named, said.

South Africa’s MTN Group said on Monday its chief executive will resign immediately as the telecoms firm continued talks with the Nigerian government over a $5.2 billion fine.
Sifiso Dabengwa will be replaced by non-executive chairman Phuthuma Nhleko for a maximum of six months, Africa’s biggest mobile phone company said in a statement.
MTN was fined in October by the Nigerian telecoms regulator for failing to cut off users with unregistered SIM cards.
The company said it continued talks with the Nigerian authorities over the fine.

CCT is waiting for u on d 9th...

Former Niger Delta Minister, Elder Godsday Orubebe, raised the alarm Sunday that he was being persecuted for his support and closeness to former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Orubebe, who is being charged to the Code of Conduct Tribunal, told a press conference in Abuja on Sunday that he had not committed any offense to warrant being vilified by the present administration.

The former minister also declared that he had never demanded and collected a bribe throughout his six-year sojourn as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He said he was convinced that the CCT was out to frame him given the way it had already begun his ‘trial’ in the media when he had only been served with the summons to appear before the court on November 9, 2015.

He said: “I was served with Code of Conduct Tribunal summons on Friday last week and the paper, which I personally signed and collected stated that I was expected to appear before them on November the ninth.

“I was taken aback by the news that I had already been arraigned. This tells me that it is an issue of witch hunt which is not good for this country. It is not good to take me to the public court before being tried.

“The issues contained in the summons are that I took N50 million bribe from one of the contractors who handled a project for the ministry of Niger Delta and another N20 million from the same contractor as well as not declaring my plots of land in Asokoro and Kyame districts of Abuja. I find these charges very empty and frivolous.
