The embattled Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, was on Wednesday confronted with more
allegations, Vanguard reports.
The Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential panel asked him to account for
380 houses and seven vessels loaded with crude oil. The probe panel also
grilled on him on the disposal of assets worth N37 billion.
Magu is being grilled, following allegations raised against him by
Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar
Malami(SAN).
The panel started quizzing Magu on Monday after his arrest by detectives in Abuja.
On Tuesday, he was grilled on cash discrepancies said to be N539 billion
realised from the sale of seized assets and N504 billion declared by
the commission.
Vanguard also reports that, on Wednesday, at the ground floor of the
Federal Criminal Investigation Department, FCID, Area 10, Abuja, where
the EFCC boss is being held, his family members were allowed to visit
him.
A Presidency source had said, on Tuesday, that the probe was an
affirmation that nobody under the present administration was above
scrutiny.
The source had also explained that the interrogation of the anti-graft
boss was being done to give him the opportunity to clear himself of the
weighty allegations.
