Ibrahim Magu, suspended acting chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been sent back to area 10 force
criminal investigation department (FCID) of the police in Abuja where he spent
the night on Monday.
A source disclosed this, saying he was moved to
detention at the end of questioning by the panel on Tuesday.
He was arrested on Monday and whisked to the presidential
villa in Abuja where the panel set up to probe the commission has been sitting.
Some of the aides of the anti-graft czar had earlier moved
his personal belongings out of his official residence in the Maitama area of
the nation’s capital while security operatives raided his residence at Karu,
still in Abuja.
A family source said the security operatives who carried out
the operation found nothing incriminating in the house.
They were said to have left with some documents.
Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF),
had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Magu over some “weighty”
allegations.
The AGF had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Magu
over some “weighty” allegations, including the diversion of recovered loot.
In addition to allegedly re-looting the recovered loot,
Malami accused the acting EFCC chairman of insubordination and misconduct.
An EFCC source said Magu went to the panel with documents to
prove that Malami’s allegations were false but surprisingly he has not been
asked any question on that.
“He went to the panel with many documents. He has a lot of
files on him to respond to the allegations. Surprisingly, the panel has not
asked him any question on the issues raised against him,” the source said.
