The suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has been released from detention after 10 days
in police custody
As it was gathered, that the
suspended EFCC boss was released on Wednesday, 15th July, 2020.
Well, it should be recalled
that the ex-EFCC boss was nabbed last week Monday, July 6, 2020, by officials
of the Department of State Services (DSS).
And, he has been appearing
before the Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential panel investigating allegations
of corruption and insubordination leveled against him by the justice minister,
Abubakar Malami.
Meanwhile, reports also had it
that he was probed over 380 houses, 7 crude oil-laden ships, N37billion assets.
Well, earlier on yesterday, the
Nigeria Police Force denied that they are detaining him.
However, in a letter signed by
DCP Idowu Owohunwa, Principal Staff Officer to the Inspector-General of Police
(IGP), Mohammed Adamu and addressed to Magu’s counsel, Tosin Ojaomo, the
Nigerian police authorities made it clear that the suspended EFCC acting
Chairman was being “held” by the Presidency and not them.
Meanwhile, the details of his
bail are still sketchy, but he has returned to his Abuja residence.
