According to report, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly replaced Ibrahim Magu with Mohammed Umar.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reportedly picked its Director of Operations, Mohammed Umar, to oversee the agency in the absence of the suspended chairman, Ibrahim Magu.
A top EFCC official who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said Umar was chosen by the “EFCC’s hierarchy”, adding that Ibrahim Magu’s suspension has not been officially communicated to the commission.
Speaking the allegations levelled against the suspended EFCC Chairman, the top EFCC official said the allegations of fraud against Magu were all false.
The source said: “I can tell you that all the allegations against Magu are untrue. I see the whole situation as a power play.
“Preparations for the 2023 elections are another reason they want Magu out because he knows too much.
“Another thing is the problem of staff welfare, imagine somebody like me for close to 10 years, I have not gained any promotion.
“We are not happy about the news of his suspension, but I know that members of staff are not happy with him,” the EFCC official said.
However, when contacted by NAN to confirm the latest development, Dele Oyewale, the spokesman of the EFCC, declined to comment.
