THE Presidential Investigation Committee on Friday decided to allow the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu to be part of its proceedings.
The panel said its position would enable Magu be aware of the testimonies of those appearing before it.Although it promised to release some of the allegations against Magu to him, the panel said sensitive security items would not be made available because such should not be in public domain.
A source said: “To demonstrate its commitment to fair hearing, the panel on Friday said it will henceforth allow Magu to be part of its proceedings to have first hand information on the allegations against him, and hear the testimony of any witness. The panel said it has no predetermined agenda. “Also, the panel said its mandate is fact-finding and not a trial type. It said nobody is on trial before it”“What the panel opted for was for it to entertain all the allegations against Magu and later ask him to respond to each of the issues.
Magu’s counsel, Wahab Shittu in a letter to the panel, pledged that the suspended acting EFCC chairman would cooperate with the panel.
