The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, has been suspended.

President Buhari had earlier set up a presidential panel headed by Justice Ayo Salami to probe the various allegations levelled against the EFCC boss.

The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) had made a complaint to Buhari over Magu’s conduct as head of the anti-graft agency.

Malami had pointed out instances of insubordination by  the Acting Chairman as well as alleged discrepancies in the figures of questionable funds that the Commission recovered from fraud suspects.
