Ayo Fayose, former Ekiti State Governor, has called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to order an investigation into the sales of
properties seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under
the suspended acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu.
“Those recovered loots that were re-looted must be
re-recovered”, Fayose said on Friday.
In a statement by his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, the former
governor said the ongoing investigation will be incomplete without digging into
“who bought what and how they were sold.”
He noted that the sole aim of the probe must not be to
remove Magu from office.
Fayose stressed that Nigerians are interested in the
identities of buyers of the properties seized by EFCC and how they were sold.
He said; “Nigerians must know the beneficiaries of the
seized properties and how they were sold because most of these properties were
bought by associates of Magu, including some so-called human rights lawyers.
“These human rights lawyers were his promoters and today,
they are the ones defending him because they know that if this investigation
goes deeper than just looking for what Magu did wrong so as to remove him from
office, their own dirty secrets will be revealed for Nigerians to see.
“This investigation must not end up as their usual
paddy-paddy arrangement. It should not end up as a tool just to remove Magu
because removing him will not be enough, the loots already relooted must be
re-recovered and those who relooted the loots brought to book.
“Also, those holding money and properties in trust for Magu
as well as those who must have helped him to launder money must be revealed.”
