Former acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has reacted to the appointment of Abdulrasheed
Bawa as the new Chairman of the commission.
Tosin Ajaomo, the lawyer to Magu, said the appointment made
by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday came as a shock.
Buhari had yesterday asked the Senate to confirm Bawa as
substantive EFCC Chairman.
But Ajaomo told Channels Television that justice has not been served in the allegations of corruption levelled against his client, Magu.
“Sincerely, I need to tell you that this appointment came to
me as a shock. There is still an unfinished assignment that was pending,” he
said.
“I was expecting that the issue of Magu would have been
sorted out before moving to another stage.
“Unfortunately, we just got this news today that a new
Chairman has been nominated by the President and his name has been forwarded to
the Senate.”
Following a series of corruption allegations against the
former EFCC boss, Magu was on July 10, 2020 suspended from office by President
Buhari.
Mohammed Umar, the EFCC Director of Operations had earlier
taken charge of the activities of the agency.
