BREAKING: Buhari finally speaks on Magu’s probe, reveals reason for his removal
Jul 12, 2020
The Nigerian Presidency has issued an official statement on the investigation of Former acting EFCC chair, Ibrahim Magu.
On Saturday evening, Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, issued a statement on Magu’s travails adding that the commission does not revolve around an individual adding that Magu’s suspension allows the body to carry out its activities efficiently.
“A series of documented allegations were made against the Ag. Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Following a preliminary review of the allegations levelled against the Ag. Chairman and several other members of his staff, there were grounds for a detailed investigation to be conducted.”
“Hence, an investigative panel was constituted in compliance with the extant laws governing the convening of such a body. As is the proper procedure, when allegations are made against the Chief Executive of an institution, and in this case an institution that ought to be seen as beyond reproach, the Chief Executive has to step down from his post and allow for a transparent and unhindered investigation.”
“The EFCC does not revolve around the personality of an individual, and as such cannot be seen through the prism of any individual.”
“Therefore, the suspension of Mr. Ibrahim Magu, allows the institution to continue carrying out its mandate without the cloud of investigation hanging over its head.”
