OpEd: officialEFCC’s Magu And Allegations Of ‘Mago Mago’ By FredrickNwabufo | Sahara Reporters Really, the reluctance of public officers to distinguish themselves from their offices is the reason for abuse of office. This is where Magu is... READ MORE:
Ibrahim Magu, Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, escaped the axe by the gators last week. He was nearly fired. The EFCC chief’s nearly five-year incumbency has been a wild play of intrigues, distraction and confusion.
The report said Malami asked Buhari to sack Magu over “22 weighty” allegations, including the diversion of recovered loot. Though the news story seems to suggest Magu is a victim of witch-hunt, can these allegations rest on nothing? Again, Magu cannot be faulted regarding dedication to his job, but there are areas where he is deeply flawed. He has shown a mitigated capacity to understand and interrogate issues. I recall in February 2020 when a leading Nigerian online newspaper reported that the acting EFCC chairman said he is strongly convinced that corruption is the cause of COVID-19. He said this without nuance or context, advertising a deep intellectual chasm.
The acting EFCC chairman once declared that a suspect stole $2.5bn without the pronouncement of a court -- while his operatives ran amok invading nightclubs to arrest random party animals in the guise of hunting yahoo-boys.
