Breaking: Buhari appoints new Acting Chairman of EFCC

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari reportedly appointed the Commissioner of Police of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as new acting chairman of EFCC.

The President appointed Bala Ciroma to take the former position of Ibrahim Magu as the new acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In the mean time, Ibrahim Magu has reportedly moved his personal belongings out of his official residence in Maitama.

At the same time, Magu’s Karu residence in Abuja was searched by security operatives on Tuesday evening.

These are linked to the ongoing probes into allegations of corruption leveled against him.

It is not clear if the security operatives visited his official residence in Maitama, but information obtained by Onyxnews Nigeria disclosed that the suspended EFCC head has packed his personal properties from the Maitama house.

The seven-man presidential panel has concluded its sitting on Wednesday 8 July, with a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Kanu Agabi representing the suspended Ibrahim Magu.
