President Buhari removes Ibrahim Magu as EFCC chairman

Acting EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, has been dropped by president Buhari, weeks after the senate refused to confirm him as chairman of the anti-graft agency following allegation of graft levelled against him by the Department of State Security Service (DSS).

According to reports, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has already issued a leter to Magu, asking him to hand over to the Director of Operations in the EFCC, pending when a new person is nominated to take over. There are also reports that he has been redeployed back to the Nigerian Police Force (NPF)..
