EKO HOT BLOG reports that a former Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has been rejected for promotion by the Police Service Commission (PSC).

The rejection of Magu was made known via a statement made by the PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, on Thursday.

The Commission, on Thursday, stated that it is awaiting clearance from the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice and the Office of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) before Magu would be promoted.
