The presidential panel probing suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has recommended his sack.

Magu

In its interim report submitted on Wednesday, the panel headed, by retired president of the court of appeal, Ayo Salami, also recommended that Magu should be prosecuted over allegations of corruption and abuse of office.

According to TheCable, the panel also recommended the immediate appointment of a new chairman for the anti-graft agency.

Recall that Magu was whisked before the panel by a combined team of Department of State Services (DSS) and officers from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the police in Abuja on July 6.

He was detained area 10 of the FCT police command for nine days before being granted bail.

The travails of Magu, a commissioner of police, followed a memo by the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, who accused him of “grave malfeasance”.

He was alleged to have mishandled the recovered loot and sold seized assets to his associates.

Magu was also alleged to have purchased a property in Dubai, United Arab Emirates using a pastor as a conduit.

Magu was also accused of violating the code of conduct law by allegedly failing to declare all his assets when he assumed office in 2015.

He has since denied all the allegations which he described as “nonsense”, once saying: “what I am going through is a case of dog eats dog”.

The former acting chairman of EFCC has also accused the panel of not giving him fair hearing.

Through Wahab Shittu, his counsel, Magu has written several letters to the panel, demanding to be served a copy of the charges against him in order to prepare for defence.
