The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked speculations that the Acting Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Magu has been sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari. The Commission cleared the air on Tuesday via its verified Twitter handle. The Commission in a series of tweets said "there is no change of guards."
Other tweets read;
“Purveyors of #fakenews concerning the EFCC are hereby warned to desist from such mischief as the anti-graft agency remains committed to its mission.”
The alleged sack of Magu started last week when the Chairman, Senate Committee on Public Petitions, Ethics and privledges, Senator Samuel Anyanwu stated that Nigeria Senate no longer regard Mr. Ibrahim Magu as Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Senator Samuel Anyanwu explained that there were massive petitions against the EFCC, but the Senate could not invite Mr. Magu because he was no longer seen as the acting Chairman.
“There are petitions against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission by some Nigerians, but my Committee does not see Ibrahim Magu as the Acting Chairman and that is why he was not invited”
