Suspended EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu disgraced

Suspended EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Magu has been disgraced.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that a suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu was reportedly waved aside twice at the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and Nuhu Ribadu’s children wedding.

A popular Nigerian journalist, Jaafar Jaafar, made this that the suspended EFCC Chairman was reportedly put aside twice at Atiku and Ribadu’s children wedding over the weekend.

This comes months after Magu was arrested amid allegations of corruption on July 6, 2020, and brought before the Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential panel for questioning.

The suspended EFCC Chairman was accused of being unable to account for the interest added to recovered funds of about N550bn by the anti-graft agency, though he has on several occassions pleaded not guilty.

Explaining what happened at the wedding ceremony in a series of tweets, Jaafar wrote: “Appearing without escort, his face masked, very few people recognised d suspended chairman of EFCC Ibrahim Magu today at d Ribadu/Atiku kids’ wedding. He was shoved aside twice at d gate until I rushed to tell d policemen that it was CP Magu they pushed aside. Life!”

“I stand by my earlier tweet that Magu was actually pushed aside twice at the gate of Nuhu Ribadu’s house today. I have nobody to impress by concocting stories. By my training as a journalist, I know the perils of peddling falsehood.”
