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.

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.

Vinicius, who had proved decisive in Madrid’s win over Real Valladolid on Wednesday, looked set to see off Levante as well, before Benzema notched his first goal of the season late on. Madrid have now recorded three clean sheets from their four opening games, although a draw away at Real Sociedad has given an early advantage to Barcelona, who play away at Sevilla later on Sunday. “We had to suffer,” said Zinedine Zidane. “We had chances in the second half to kill the game and that would have made it different. We suffered a lot because they also had chances.” Madrid and Barca had earlier played out the first ever women’s Clasico after Madrid finally launched their female team this season.
