Counsel to the suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, Tosin Ojaomo has insisted that
his client was still in charge of the Commission.
Ojaomo explained that there is no official communication
that Magu has been suspended.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, Ojaomo assured Nigerians
that the truth regarding Magu’s current travail would soon be revealed.
He said: “The truth will soon be out. I was there today, but
I couldn’t see him. They said I should come early in the morning so I will be
there to apply for his bail.
“The news that someone has been appointed to replace him or
that he is under suspension is not true. There is no letter of suspension. You
will be shocked how this will end.”
Magu is currently being investigated for corruption and
misconduct by a Presidency-backed panel.
The probe followed an indictment by the Attorney General of
the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
Malami among other things accused Magu of relooting
recovered loot and insubordination.
The ongoing investigation had led to his suspension and EFCC
immediately picked Mohammed Umar to replace him pending the conclusion of the
probe.
