Aliyu
Lemu, lawyer to the suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has said that up till this moment, his
client has not been told why he is being investigated.
Lemu
said this when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today, adding that
the former EFCC boss is not happy with the way the hearing is being conducted.
According
to him, the committee is already going against President Muhammadu Buhari’s
directive to conduct a public hearing.
“He (Magu) has not been informed why he is being investigated,” the lawyer said.
“Magu
has a lot of problems with the way the committee has conducted hearings.
“Against
the directive of the President, the committee has been meeting without media
presence.
“The
committee has been meeting privately at the Villa, against a public hearing
President Buhari ordered,” he said.
Recall
that Magu had recently claimed that some powerful toes he stepped on while
doing his job as the EFCC Chairman were out to tarnish his image and destroy
his reputation.
Magu
told the Presidential Committee On Audit Of Recovered Assets, PCARA, that
suspects and other criminal elements he prosecuted were after him.
Magu
is being investigated over alleged mismanagement and lack of transparency in
managing recovered assets by the EFCC from 2015 to 2020.
