Magu Writes Panel, Requests Copies of Malami, Others’ Suits

The suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu on Wednesday wrote to the Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential panel investigating a 21-point allegation of corruption and insubordination filed against him by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, asking for copies of the AGF’s petition and others that might have been filed by other individuals.

Magu, who regained his freedom after nine days in detention, also called the panel’s attention to what he called “serial falsehood publications in the media in respect of matters which never featured in the proceedings” of the panel, saying they were prejudicial to the work of the enquirers.

The suspended EFCC boss in a 16-point letter signed by his lawyer, Mr. Wahab Shittu, complained that despite his request, he had been denied copies of allegations against him.

He, therefore, demanded a copy of the report of the Presidential Audit Committee, a copy of the memo of the AGF to the president, and individual petitions submitted to the panel.

Magu cited 13 publications in the media, which he said were orchestrated to prejudice the proceedings against him and dismissed them as false since they were just garnished to tarnish his personality.
