" Magu Turned EFCC To Glorified Police Station"

Suspended acting chairman of the EFCC Ibrahim Magu has been accused of turning the EFCC into a “glorified police station” for alleged selfish motives.

According to reports from NAN, it is contained in a report of the Presidential Committee on Audit of Recovered Assets (PCARA).

The President was reported to set up the committee to look into the activities of the EFCC under Magu.

Magu reportedly seconded police officers to the EFCC despite the massive recruitment of officers and men carried out by the commission in recent years.

“The blatant display of arrogance and acquisition of illicit wealth has turned the EFCC into a glorified police station, Despite massive recruitment of officers and men in recent years by the (suspended) acting chairman of the EFCC, he is still seconding police officers to the EFCC because he is comfortable with his fellow officers to carry out his illicit activities,

“He does not have any exit strategy for the police even though the EFCC officers are more experienced in the investigation of economic and financial crimes.”

The inspector-general of police Muhammed Adamu, had ordered on Friday the withdrawal of mobile policemen attached to Magu, who is being held at area 10 force criminal investigation department in Abuja.

Magu is currently being interrogated by a panel headed by Ayo Salami, former president of the appeal court.

He was accused of not being transparent in managing assets recovered by the commission.

The Commissioner said further that CACOVID and the state government on September 23rd flagged off the distribution of the palliatives and had distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state. “The remaining palliatives in the terminal, which the hoodlums preyed on until chased away by security agencies, were meant for special vulnerable groups and just one local government where names of the beneficiaries have just been delivered and officials have started distributing when the street urchins breached the wall of the facility,” the statement added.
