EFCC SPEAKS ON REMOVAL OF MAGU AS ACTING
CHAIRMAN
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reacted to speculation that
Ibrahim Magu would be removed as the acting chairman of the anti-graft agency.
In a
tweet sent out from its official handle on Tuesday morning, the commission
insisted “there is no change of guards”.
The
update read: “#Alert: For the avoidance of any doubt, there is no “change of
guards” at the EFCC. Ibrahim Magu remains the acting EFCC Chairman.
“Purveyors
of #fakenews concerning the EFCC are hereby warned to desist from such mischief
as the anti-graft agency remains committed to its mission.”
Yesterday,
the Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption, PACAC, Prof.
Itse Sagay, also dismissed
speculations that Magu has been sacked.
His
‘removal’ has been a subject of debate in the last
few days, following the declaration
by the Nigerian Senate that it he is not regarded as EFCC chairman.
