The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has
no power to grant Ibrahim Magu, the suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), bail.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, made the
clarification in an interview with Daily Sun in Abuja on Monday.
He said: “It is a probe by the Federal Government panel.
Therefore, all enquiries concerning the probe or relating to actions incidental
to the probe should be directed to the panel that is handling the probe.”
Recall that Magu had a few days ago written to
the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to be released on bail.
Magu’s legal representative, Oluwatosin Ojaomo, asked Adamu
to grant bail to his client on “self recognizance”.
The suspended EFCC boss was arrested last week and taken to
the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where he was interrogated by an Ayo Salami-led
panel headed by Ayo Salami, a retired president of the Appeal Court.
He has been in detention since last week, answering
questions on embezzled recovered loot and selling of seized assets to
associates.
President Muhammadu Buhari on July 10, approved Magu’s
suspension as acting chairman of EFCC.
