Malami Writes President, Seeks Removal of Magu via thisdaylive
Accuses EFCC boss of diversion of recovered loot, insubordinationThe Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami , has recommend to President Muhammadu Buhari the sacking of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Mr Ibrahim Magu.
But Magu is fighting back and his supporters within the Presidency say ” removing Magu at this time when he has given muscle to Buhari’s anti-corruption fight would be a mistake.” One of the sources told select journalists that “I can authoritatively tell you that though Magu has survived previous plots to remove him, the AGF’s legal opinion remains the deadliest plot to get Magu out of the EFCC as AGF’s letter to the president contained 22 weighty allegations that require Buhari’s decision on whether or not to send Magu’s name to the Senate for confirmation or replace him…..
According to the supporter of the EFCC boss, what should be a point of commendation is now being used against Magu. “But it is unfortunate that this claim is at variance with the public auction of assets by the EFCC,“ the source added. However, when the presidency insisted on Magu being confirmed, the previous Senate demanded the reversal of a damning security report on the EFCC boss from the Department of State Services , which it had cited as the reason for his non-confirmation.
