Magu Probe: Salami Panel to submit report to Buhari Next Week

The Justice Ayo Salami-led panel investigating the suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, on allegations of financial mismanagement will submit its report to President Muhammadu Buhari next week.

POLITICS NIGERIA had reported that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, had accused Magu of corruption and mismanagement of recovered assets.

But it was understood that the panel had spent 38 days sitting in private and 37 days before serving Magu a copy of the allegations against him.

Recall that the President gave the commission 45 days from its first public sitting to complete its investigation on Magu and report back to him.

The Nigerian leader also asked the panel to audit the accounts of the EFCC from 2015 to 2020, and also investigate allegations of personal enrichment, abuse of office, disobedience to court orders, and the alleged sale of recovered assets to cronies by the suspended EFCC boss.

The president also mandated the Salami-led panel to investigate an alleged complaint against Magu by the National Crime Agency of the United Kingdom, as well as his handling of the controversial P&ID case.
