Speaking the allegations levelled against the suspended EFCC Chairman, the top EFCC official said the allegations of fraud against Magu were all lies.
“I can tell you that all the allegations against Magu are untrue. I see the whole situation as a power play.
“Preparations for the 2023 elections are another reason they want Magu out because he knows too much.
“Another thing is the problem of staff welfare, imagine somebody like me for close to 10 years, I have not gained any promotion.
“We are not happy about the news of his suspension, but I know that members of staff are not happy with him,” the EFCC official to NAN.
Although, when called by NAN to confirm the latest development, the spokesman of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale refused to say a word.
