MAGU'S FEAR COMFIRMD, REJECTED BY SENATE
The Senate, on Thursday, rejected the confirmation of the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu.
Ripples Nigeria had earlier exclusively reported that out of anxiety, Magu had recruited Ali Ndume to intensify lobby of lawmakers who can sway the pendulum in his favour.
The report also noted that senators were in possession of a damning report from the Department of State Services (DSS).
Also earlier, before the screening exercise, Ndume, obviously in defence of Magu had engaged his colleague from Kogi State, Dino Melaye, in war of words over the confirmation hearing of Magu.
Spokesman of the Senate, Senator Sabi Abdullahi, who briefed National Assembly correspondents, confirmed Ripples Nigeria report that the rejection of Magu was based on a ‘worrisome’ security report, made available to lawmakers by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Names of other board members of the anti-corruption agency, have however been forwarded to the Senate committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes for further legislative action.
