Embattled EFCC Chairman Magu Regains Freedom

Ibrahim Magu who is the suspended Acting Chairman of EFCC, regained freedom on Wednesday after nine days in detention.

The Suspended EFCC Chairman was set free from custody in the Force Criminal

Investigation Department based on the orders of the Presidential Investigation Committee.

The embattled suspended anti-graft chairman had been facing a presidential

probe panel based  on the corruption allegations leveled against him.

There have been many allegations against him, some of which are,

Alleged discrepancies in the reconciliation records of the EFCC and the

Federal Ministry of Finance on recovered funds.

Declaration of N539 billion as recovered funds, instead of N504 billion earlier claimed;

Insubordination to the Office of the AGF

Not respecting court order to unfreeze a N7 billion judgement in favour of a former executive director of a bank;

Not providing enough evidence for the extradition of Diezani Alison-Madueke; .

Reporting some judges to their presiding officers without deferring to the AGF; *Alleged sale of seized assets to cronies, associates and friends;

Alleged issuance of investigative activities to some media prejudicial to some cases.

Among many others.

The embattled Magu who some believed not to also give people bail were happy and said he got his fair share.
