BREAKING: EFCC chairman, Magu, suspended by presidency

The Presidency has reportedly suspended the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.

Recall that the commission's boss was allegedly arrested on Monday by a combined team of Department of State Services personnel and policemen at the Wuse II office of the EFCC to face an interagency committee investigating corruption allegations against him.

He was detained at the FCID in Area 10, Abuja, on Monday night on the orders of the committee that also questioned him on Tuesday morning.

A source in the Presidency confirmed to SaharaReporters that Magu has now been suspended pending when a decision will be taken on him.
