According to TheCable, Ibrahim Magu, former acting chairman of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has asked the
presidential probing the agency under his watch to explain why people
who are being tried by the EFCC have been asked to testify against him.
In a statement Tosin Ojaomo, his counsel, issued on his behalf, Magu
said the panel headed by Ayo Salami, a former president of the appeal
court, has been hostile to him.
Magu’s ordeal began after Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the
federation (AGF), accused him of mismanaging loot recovered loot by the
anti-graft agency.
He was detained at the area 10 force criminal investigation department
in Abuja for 10 days before he was eventually granted bail.
In the statement, Magu said he is yet to be served with all the allegations levelled against him.
“Why is the panel inviting suspects facing EFCC trial? What is the basis
of the panel’s invitation to a senior lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), a
lawyer that is defending the looters of our common patrimony, especially
those who are under EFCC’s investigations and trial?” he said.
“Is it not curious that while the lawyer to Magu, Wahab Shittu,
deliberately refused to disclose what transpired before the panel,
Ozekhome and Obla issued statements and made public what transpired
before the panel.
“What is the propriety of the panel’s invitation to a disgruntled
official of the EFCC, Nuru Buhari Dalhatu, to come and testify against
Mr Magu while the said Dalhatu is under investigation for misconduct and
fraternizing with suspects?
“What is the justification for the panel’s invitation of another senior
lawyer, Godwin Obla (SAN), who is currently facing EFCC’s trial with an
indicted judge of the Federal High Court?
“Is it not strange that Obla made a damning revelation on what
transpired before the panel and went ahead to demand for his outrageous
legal fees of N763 million and the striking out of the charge against
him?
“Why is the panel hostile to Mr Magu at any time he tried to take up issues with those invited to testify against him?
“How come that a fact finding panel over allegations of corruption
against Mr Magu has now turned to a platform where certain individuals
whose actions and antecedents fit into the description ‘corruption
enablers’ as well as ‘haters of the war against corruption’ and its
leadership are being invited to testify against Mr. Magu?
“There is the need to ask this important question- Has any witness
testified that he or she gave xyz amount to Mr Magu in order to
compromise cases before him?
“Why is it that the Salami-led panel is yet to serve and confront Mr
Magu with all the allegations against him and what are the terms of
reference of the panel?”
