Insider Reveals ‘Damning’ Security Report That Led To Magu’s Rejection

The decision of the senate to reject the nomination of Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was based on a security report by Lawal Daura, director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to a senior national assembly official, “the damning” report was addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President Bukola Saraki.
“The report is 16 pages and it is damning. It basically gives reasons why Magu is not fit to be EFCC chairman,” he said.
“The acting EFCC chairman is alleged to possess undeclared pieces of property. He is alleged to be corrupt, and a gross violator of human rights.”
The official concluded by saying “the senate cannot act outside the report”.
Last Thursday, the senate had deferred the confirmation hearing Magu — after initially delaying the exercise for five months.
