The ordeal of Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, got worse on Monday evening when he was thrown into a cell at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Headquarters in Area 10, Federal Capital Territory, shortly after being interrogated by an interagency panel inside Aso Rock Villa, Nigeria's seat of power.

Magu's arrest earlier on Monday afternoon had sent a frenzy across the landscape especially with the large number of policemen and Department of State personnel deployed to the EFCC office to seize him.

The combined security team stormed the EFCC office at Wuse II in three trucks to arrest and move Magu to the Presidential Villa in the Asokoro area of the Federal Capital Territory to face the panel.

SaharaReporters gathered that the interagency committee led by a former Court of Appeal judge, Ayo Salami, did not show Magu a copy of the allegations against him even though he requested to see a one.

Panel members, it was gathered, only read from a dossier in front of them during the grilling session.

After completion of interrogation by the Presidential interagency committee over corruption allegations against him, Salami, who was said not to be satisfied at Magu's defence, ordered that the Acting EFCC boss be kept in detention until 10:00am this (Tuesday) morning when he'll be returned to Aso Rock Villa for continuation of the grilling by the committee. 

These developments squashes claims by the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, that Magu was not arrested but voluntarily submitted himself to the panel. SEE ALSOBREAKING: EFCC Acting Chairman, Magu, Moved To Aso Rock Villa After Arrest To Face Investigative Panel18 Comments13 Hours Ago

It also punctures the lie by DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, that the secret police was not involved in the arrest of Magu.

The DSS in a 2016 report revealed that Magu was living in a N40m mansion.He was arrested on Monday after it emerged that he had four houses and was moving money outside the country through third parties.

He don set

wow

The lies of this corrupt govt & all agencies under it are always glaring for all to see but they just keep on disgracing this nation.

Well, as for all the zombies who believes EFCC or the worst sanctimonious anti-corruption czar himself is pwightin kwarrapton, guess you can see your lives?

Whatever goes around not only comes around but also stays around.Karma is a bitch.Magu welcome to your own hell.

The plot thickens...

Wonder why Magu always appears to be sneering in his pics tho...


But he should rest easy and enjoy his amassed largesse. The powers that be only want a more pliable person in that position.


Nigeria is imploding.

Karma has no deadline, it has no menu, you get served what you deserve, it is called karma and it's pronounced hahahahaha

If found guilty. Please he needs to be castrated and be used as a scapegoat to ward off intending future thieves that might chair efcc... how can you be a corruption czar and end up being the corruption GOAT?

The cabal at work again

The same Ibrahim Magu that has been used to witch-hunt perceived political enemies and declare some guilty on the pages of newspapers even without trial in a competent court of law is now a threat to the same cabal within buhari cabinet.

This will be really damaging especially if he is truly Innocent.

Dis govt is all about lies, more lies and more lies.. They've always know he was corrupt.. Charges against him didnt start from today.. D reason why Mr integrity still insisted on having him head d agency and in an acting capacity for years now is enough to know dey are all birds of a feather

Noted

Dss arrest magu or not...nothing will happen to him..farida waziri was also accused of been corroupt.that matter ended like that..ibrahim lamorde tookover and looted from recovered loots.he is somewhere enjoying himself...jokers.

WHAT'S THE TRIBE OF MAGU, EFCC BOSS?

Another tinubu boy about to be axed

Tough times for Ibrahim Magu,God see him through and see us through as a Country.

Since only northerners are incorruptible and fit to head the EFCC, another Saintly Aboki should be sharparly brought in to continue the fight against southerners, sorry corruption

I am not too sure because Salami who gave the judgement against Magu is also Tinubu boy. Maybe they are acting drama.
