There are indications that the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has been removed from office, Guardian is reporting.
The report quoted a source as saying Magu was redeployment back to the Nigeria Police Force, NPF.
Magu’s redeployment back to the Nigerian Police Force is to pave way for a fresh person to be nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The report disclosed that the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has already issued a letter to Magu on this development and directed that he hands over to the Director of Operations in the Commission.
However, the Presidency in its reaction, described the report as “speculative and preemptive.”
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the AGF is yet to inform the Presidency on such development.
Shehu, on his twitter handle, wrote: “We are reading reports that the @officialEFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu has been sacked.
“No report has been made available to the Presidency by the Attorney General of the federation over the matter.
“The report of his sack is therefore speculative and preemptive.”
