EFCC: How ‘Magu Boys’ allegedly disobeyed court, demanded N75m bribe – Lawyer
Another allegation has been made against the suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, , Ibrahim Magu.
In a petition by an Abuja-based lawyer, Johnmary Jideobi, Magu and the boys were alleged to have unlawfully frozen accounts of a company, Damjay Integrated Services Limited in Access Bank. Jideobi claimed that following the refusal of the bank to unfreeze the account, Magu and EFCC were dragged before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory .
He told the AGF and Salami panel that Magu Boys, instead of obeying the court order, acted as intermediaries and allegedly demanded N75million from the account as a condition for lifting the illegal restriction. But when the company rejected, “a phantom criminal charge was on June 19, 2020, filed against the company’s sponsor and pending in court.”
