To many Nigerians, Ibrahim Magu, the embattled anti-corruption Czar had it coming all along. Even by Nigeria’s rather permissive standards, the 14-paragraph report delivered in 2017 by the Department of State Security to the National Assembly shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari nominated him for the anti-graft top job would, ordinarily, have been deemed devastating enough to rule him out of contention.
There is of course a lot to say of his dramatic arrest in Abuja last week as deriving from an old but familiar playbook which began from when Nuhu Ribadu, EFCC’s founding chairman exited the agency in 2007.
His enemies, by the way, did not forget to mention the so-called Magu Boys, the elite club among the corps of investigators said to have the ears of the big boss. To these and many more have been added the tale about some choice property in Dubai linked to the embattled anti-graft Czar.
