Foreign missions, donor agencies to monitor Magu’s screening

Foreign missions and donor agencies will monitor the screening of acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, by the Senate on Wednesday.

According to the Nation, the embassies had directed over 10 foreign missions and donor agencies to keep an eye on the session.

“We heard of the confirmation notice at short notice but we have put all steps in place to monitor the process,” a top official of one of the missions said.
“We are interested in Magu’s screening because it might determine the direction of your anti-graft war.
“So far, I think we are about 10 missions and agencies that have compared notes on the screening.”
Another said: “We were caught unawares but we will send a representative to the screening to watch the development.

“We want to monitor the process to gauge the mindset of the Senate and Magu.”
