Magu killed high-profile cases while chasing after yahoo boys — Investigation panel
The former acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has been accused of killing high-profile cases while chasing after yahoo boys.
TheCable reports that the presidential panel that probed the EFCC, from May 2015 to May 2020 when Magu was in charge of the agency, made the accusation in its final report submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2020.
The EFCC under Magu was said to have secured 2,446 convictions from 2015 to 2020, out of which 2,115 had to do with Yahoo boys and 85 high-profile cases.
Investigating officers of the commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa (now EFCC chairman), Shehu Ala and Sambo Mayana, were said to have submitted executive briefs to Magu seeking permission to take legal steps against high-profile suspects, but the former EFCC boss would not grant the approval until the expiration of court orders.
