Former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara, has urged the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, as well as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, to act honourably and resign their appointments in order to face the corruption allegations leveled against them by the Department of State Services, DSS and the Senate respectively.
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to carry out an investigation into the allegations of corruption leveled against some top appointees of the President, including the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, and the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu.
The anti-Magu hysteria that has gripped a section of the media and civil society hoodwinked by our duplicitous senate and its collaborators is appalling. Magu's confirmation letter was read in the senate on July 14, 2016. It took our do-nothing senate exactly five months, on the day it was going on recess for the year, to get around to "screening" him.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court, Ekiti State has ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, did not follow due process in placing a no debit order on two bank accounts belonging to the governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose.
