Buhari removes Magu as EFCC chairman



Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, may have been removed from office.

According to The Guardian source, his redeployment back to Nigerian Police Force (NPF) was to pave way for a new person to be presented by President Muhammadu Buhari as the nominee to head the anti-corruption agency, before the Senate.

It was gathered yesterday that the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has already issued a letter to Magu on the development and directed that he hands over to the Director of Operations in the Commission.

Recap that Magu’s nomination was recently rejected by the Senate due to allegations of graft that were levelled against him by the Department of State Security Service (DSS).
