Magu dragged to CCB over dubious land allocation

 

The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has invited suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, over alleged corruption involving breach of code of conduct for public offers.

In a November 2, 2020, letter obtained by Peoples Gazette, Magu was asked to bring copies of all asset declarations since joining public service.

Copies of appointment letters and records of service from January to May 2020 were amongst the documents Magu was asked to bring, as well as all documents of landed properties both developed and undeveloped.

The invitation came months after Magu was suspended from office on allegations of corruption and abuse of office.

A panel set up by President Muhammadu Buhari and headed by Justice Ayo Salami (retired), is still investigating claims against the embattled anticorruption czar.
