Several reports earlier emerged that the acting chairman of the
economic and financial crime commission was sacked, But the EFCC has dismissed
reports that its Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, has been removed from office.
Recall that reports earlier surfaced, saying the Federal Government has
redeployed Magu back to the Nigeria Police Force.
The report alleged that the redeployment of Magu was to pave way for
the new person to be nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari for confirmation.
But the anti – graft agency in a terse statement on its twitter handle
@officialEFCC, on Saturday wrote: “Guardian Newspaper Lied, Magu not sacked.”
The debacle over Magu’s continued stay as the anti-graft head started
few weeks ago after the senate refused to confirm him.
The upper legislative chamber, cited a damning security report from
sister agency, the Department of State Services, DSS, which implicated Magu as
reason for refusing to confirm him.
Femi Adesina (@FemAdesina) also tweet on the false information
He wrote “No truth in story making the rounds that Magu has been
removed as EFCC chairman. AFG is even yet to submit his probe report to the
president”
