The embattled Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, was on Wednesday confronted with more
allegations.
The Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential panel asked him to
account for 380 houses and seven vessels loaded with crude oil.
The probe panel also grilled on him on the disposal of
assets worth N37 billion.
Magu is being grilled, following allegations raised against
him by Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar
Malami(SAN).
The panel started quizzing Magu on Monday after his arrest
by detectives in Abuja. On Tuesday, he was grilled on cash discrepancies said
to be N539 billion realised from the sale of seized assets and N504 billion
declared by the commission.
Both issues are part of the over 20 allegations levelled
against the anti-graft agency chairman by the AGF.
It was also gathered, on Wednesday, that on the ground floor
of the Federal Criminal Investigation Department, FCID, Area 10, Abuja, where
the EFCC boss is being held, his family members are allowed to visit him.
A Presidency source had said, on Tuesday, that the probe was
an affirmation that nobody under the present administration was above scrutiny.
The source had also explained that the interrogation of the anti-graft boss was
being done to give him the opportunity to clear himself of the weighty
allegations.
It was also gathered that Magu was brought to the venue at
about 11:14am from the Force Criminal Investigation Department, FCID, building
where he had been held since Monday. He was also joined by his lawyer at the
panel for interrogation.

Unbelievable! Now one will begin to know the reason & those being empty estates and properties dotting the length and breath of Abuja landscape. Wickedness. It is still an allegation though.
