Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, has said that he wrote the then acting President Yemi Osinbajo in 2017 to earn him of the atrocities of EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu.

Magu was on Tuesday suspended dby the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), after he was arrested and made to face a panel.

He's being accused of transferring recovered loots abroad with a third party.

In reaction, Ozekhome recalled how he warned Osinbajo about the activities of the EFCC boss.

A statement reads in part: “I wrote a public letter in 2017, to the then acting president, Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) at a time his boss, President Muhammadu Buhari, was sick on a London hospital bed.

“I complained bitterly, with facts, figures and data, that recovered looted funds and property, were being re-looted by the Magu-led team, who were supposed to keep the gate of our commonwealth.”

Ozekhome also revealed that Osinbajo failed to reply his letter.
