The groups faulted the current trial of Ibrahim Magu, the suspended EFCC chairman.
The exit of former Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, will affect the anti-corruption profile of Nigeria in the international community, notable transparency groups said on Thursday.
The international partners also called on Mr Salami to ensure public access to the trial of Mr Magu to provide the bastion of credibility and public trust. During this time, they have had the pleasure of working with Nigeria’s anti-corruption agencies, including and especially the EFCC. The groups said under Mr Magu, they have been “enormously impressed with their tenacity, skills and performance.”
The groups said they agreed with Mr Shehu but that such expressions also suggested the presidency appeared to have made up its mind to nail Mr Magu. They expressed worry about the failure to allow Mr Magu to cross-examine his accusers and witnesses and the failure of the panel to reveal its mandate, terms of reference and the timeline in which it expects to be operating.
