Acting Chairman of Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, would be screened today as
substantive chairman of the anti-graft agency.
Senate President, Bukola Saraki,
disclosed this yesterday at plenary.
It would be recalled that President
Muhammadu Buhari had forwarded Magu’s name to the Senate on June 2016 for
confirmation.
He was appointed in acting capacity
by President Buhari on November 9, 2015, following the sack of his predecessor,
Ibrahim Lamorde.
RIZE FM also recalls that Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo, acting as the President while President Muhammadu
Buhari was away in London on a 10-day medical vacation in June 6, 2016 had
forwarded a letter to the Senate.
The letter was a request for the
screening and subsequent confirmation of Ibrahim Mustapha Magu, an Assistant
Commissioner of Police, ACP, as the substantive chairman of the anti-graft
agency.
Senate President Bukola Saraki read
the letter to his colleagues at the Senate Chambers during plenary.
