The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, spent last night in police cell after he was grilled for about six hours by a Presidential panel headed by Justice Isa Salami, a former President of the Court of Appeal.

The PUNCH gathered that Magu was detained at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Headquarters in Area 10, Garki, Abuja

He is expected to face further interrogation today being Monday, at the Presidential Villa.

The embattled EFCC boss was arrested on yesterday afternoon, and taken to the panel after he allegedly snubbed previous invitations extended to him.

2. I’d resign if i was Magu – Former DSS Director says.

A former Assistant Director with the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, says he would have resigned if he were facing corruption allegations like the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.

Amachree said this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme Today being Tuesday, 7th of July 2020.

He said based on the large number of allegations Magu is facing before a Presidential panel, it would be difficult for him to go scot-free.

The former DSS official, however, said even if Magu is found to be clean after the investigation, it would be best for him to still resign.

Amachree said he was surprised that Magu was retained by the President despite being rejected twice by the Senate.

3. Ize-Iyamu appears in Court today for alleged 700million Naira fraud.

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for September 19 governorship election in Edo State, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, will appear in court on Tuesday (today).

He is standing trial for eight counts of money laundering to the tune of 700million Naira, that was meant to prosecute the 2015 general election, in a case preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Ize-Iyamu is being tried along with four others before Justice J. M Umar at the Federal High Court in Benin-city.
