The suspended acting Chairman of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has
allegedly been accused of turning EFCC into `glorified police station’ for
alleged selfish motives.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports that the accusation was contained in a report submitted to President
Muhammadu Buhari by one of the investigative committees set up to look into the
activities of the EFCC under Magu.
According to the report, Magu has
continued seconding police officers to the EFCC in spite the massive
recruitment of officers and men carried out by the commission in recent years.
“The blatant display of arrogance
and acquisition of illicit wealth has turned the EFCC into a glorified police
station.
“Despite massive recruitment of
officers and men in recent years by the (suspended) acting chairman at the
EFCC, he is still seconding police officers to the EFCC because he is
comfortable with his fellow officers to carry out his illicit activities.
“He does not have any exit
strategy for the police even though the EFCC officers are more experienced in
the investigation of economic and financial crimes,’’ the report further noted.
Magu was suspended for his
alleged involvement in corrupt practices while in office.
Commenting on the ongoing probe,
the Presidency had disclosed that Magu was being investigated as a result of a
series of documented allegations made against him.
