Presidency denies Magu’s removal

The presidency has denied that Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu has been sacked.

In a series of tweets on Saturday, Garba Shehu, the spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari said, ” no report has been made available to the Presidency by the Attorney General of the federation over the matter.”

1. We are reading reports that the @officialEFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu has been sacked.

2. No report has been made available to the Presidency by the Attorney General of the federation over the matter.

3. The report of his sack is therefore speculative and preemptive.
