IBRAHIM MAGU GOES FOR FURTHER INTEROGATION AS FRESH SEARCH STARTS IN HIS HOUSE

By: Agosu Omoleye

Ibrahim Magu, former acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been sent back to area 10 force criminal investigation department (FCID) of the police in Abuja where he spent Monday night answering questions bordering on corruption charges leveled against him.

A source made this known to our crew that the former chairman was moved to detention at the end of questioning by the panel on Tuesday.

You will recall that he was arrested on Monday and whisked to the presidential villa in Abuja where the panel set up to probe the anti graft commission has been sitting.

Some of the aides of the anti-graft czar had earlier moved his personal belongings out of his official residence in the Maitama area of the nation’s capital while security operatives raided his residence at Karu, also in Abuja.

A family source said the security operatives who carried out the operation found nothing incriminating in the house.

They were said to have left with some documents.

Abubakar Malami, Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Magu over some “weighty” allegations.

The AGF had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Magu over some “weighty” allegations, including the diversion of recovered loot.

An EFCC source said Magu went to the panel with documents to prove that Malami’s allegations were false but surprisingly he has not been asked any question on that.

“He went to the panel with many documents. He has a lot of files on him to respond to the allegations. Surprisingly, the panel has not asked him any question on the issues raised against him,” the source said.

NIPPING DEPRESSION IN THE BUD I

By: Agosu Sewanu Omoleye Folks, let us start this write up by sharing this story Late Pa Gamaliel Onosede told me in 2008 as a fresh writer before my interview with him. My first major personality interview actually. A boy went to the sea side early in the morning for fresh breeze and he saw the waves bringing Oysters to the sea shore. He wondered how he could save the beautiful Oysters and started throwing them back into the sea one after the other.
