Asset Declaration: At Last, Magu Appears Before CCB

Ibrahim Magu, embattled acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has appeared before the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in Abuja.

According to TheCable, the suspended EFCC chairman was at CCB office in Abuja on Thursday.

Ekohotblog reports that the CCB had summoned the suspended anti-graft agency helmsman over allegation of false assets declaration.

The bureau summon of Magu was contained in a letter dated November 2, 2020.

CCB asked Magu “to come along with the certified true copies (CTC) of the following: Acknowledgement slips of all your assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau since you joined public service. Copies of your appointment letter, acceptance, records of service and pay slips from January to May 2020. All documents of your landed properties, both developed and undeveloped”.

Subsequently, Magu through his lawyer, Wahab Shittu, had asked the CCB for more time, in order to allow him get the relevant documents required for onward presentation.

But when Magu showed up at the CCB office he could not be attended to as the bureau was having its annual lecture with its theme “fighting corruption for socio-economic development”, TheCable quoted a source to have said.
