Ibrahim Magu was a powerful man. If you look at the list of his clients you will surmise too that he must have powerful enemies. IbrahimMagu Magu EFCC Fraud Nigeria Corruptionn
But Muhammadu Buhari, the President of the Republic was once with him. That has changed now and that means all the difference for Magu. How the current drama would play out finally is not clear yet, but as of now it seems safe to conclude that the once powerful boss of the all-powerful Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, is now past tense.
Magu has faced trial by the mob since his travail began without the opportunity to defend himself publicly yet. One would have expected that once the President decide to move against him, he would have been issued a query and then allowed to respond extensively. Instead, the once powerful man was invited into the lair of Aso Rock Presidential Villa where he ran into an ambuscade. For him, such tactics must look familiar.
Farida Waziri, who succeeded Ribadu, was a tough cop who knew her onion. She also knew her politics but not enough of it. Waziri was an Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, but was now asked to take the job of a man who had been demoted by the police establishment from AIG to Deputy Commissioner of Police. She struggled with the system, but in the end the Establishment got tired of her. She knew too much and treated members of the political establishment with scant respect.
But troubles were brewing from other quarters. Many months ago, a lawyer had petitioned the President alleging that Magu was at the centre of a syndicate which specialised in kidnapping lands and houses belonging to those facing charges preferred against them by the EFCC. It was not clear whether the Attorney General or the Presidency queried Magu of this matter. However, the issue would not go away despite Magu’s insistence of his innocence.
