The Department of State Services has arrested the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, The Point has learnt.
The arrest of the EFCC boss might not be unconnected to allegations of gross infractions against him by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, a few days ago.
One of Magu’s sins, it was learnt, was that he flew to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, during the COVID-19 lockdown, allegedly without the authorisation of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He has also been accused of living a lifestyle bigger than his earnings, and transferring money abroad through a third party.
Calls to his media aide, Tony Amokeodo, were not answered as of the time of filing this report.
Official response of the anti-graft agency is still being expected.
