Unknown gunmen on Tuesday night
invaded the bungalow farmhouse of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu and killed a policeman.
It was learnt that the gunmen
stormed the farmhouse in Karshi in the Federal Capital Territory at about 10pm
and exchanged fire with the policemen on sentry.
A police Sergeant was hit and he
died instantly.
This is the second time that the
same the house will be attacked by unknown elements.
The last 10 months had been tough
for Magu because of his refusal to bow to pressure from some high-profile
suspects and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs).
Following threats, security was
beefed up for Magu and his immediate family leading to the deployment of
policemen to the uncompleted bungalow in Karshi.
Some suspected elements had also
been prowling the family’s house in the Borno State capital and issuing threats
to the woman.
This latest attack came barely 48
hours after Magu said the anti-corruption will be a do-or-die affair.
Speaking on Monday after a walk
to mark the anti-corruption Day, Magu said: “For those of us on this side; in
the anti-corruption agencies of government, in the media, and civil society,
the dagger is drawn and I believe I am speaking the mind of everyone on this
side that we intend to neither retreat nor surrender in our noble intention to
cure our country of the evils of corruption.
“For us as a country, the fight
against corruption is a ‘do or die’ affair; we have to win the battle or die
trying.
