The Presidency has reacted to the release of the suspended boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from the custody of the Nigeria Police Force.
Speaking during an interview on a monitored programme in Abuja, the Special Adviser to President MUHAMMADU BUHARI on Media and Publicity, FEMI ADESINA, said IBRAHIM MAGU’S probe by the Justice AYO SALAMI-led panel is a plus to the Federal Government’s stance in fighting corruption.
The presidential spokesman, however, said that MAGU, who is also a Commissioner of Police, is being investigated over allegations of corruption and not being tried yet.
He explained that there is no need for Nigerians to be worried about the anti-corruption war, adding that MAGU’s travails will rather strengthen the fight against graft.
Speaking further, the presidential spokesman warned critics of the administration not to pick faults with President BUHARI for quizzing MAGU.
