Again, Senate rejects Magu as EFCC boss

The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday again declined to confirm Ibrahim Magu as the substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission.

His nomination was rejected by the majority of the senators present at the plenary on Wednesday after it was put to a vote.

Magu’s rejection by the Senate followed the receipt of another letter from the Department of State Services (DSS) which stated that the acting EFCC chairman would be “a liability to the anti-corruption fight of the present administration” if confirmed.
