The embattled Ag. Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu is no longer be in charge of the anti graft agency.

Magu’s ordeal became a public knowledge after the Attorney General of the federation demanded for his removal.

He was later whisked away by some operatives of the State Security Service to face a presidential probe panel for allegations bothering on corruption.

The panel grilled Magu for hours on Monday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja before he was taken into police custody.

A source privy to the investigation confirmed Magu’s suspension to The PUNCH on Tuesday.

The source said, “It is commonsensical that when an investigation of this nature is ongoing, you don’t allow the person being investigated to keep the keys of the office for which he is being investigated.

“This is because if he keeps the keys, there can be a kind of tampering with documents or evidence.

“It is not logical and it is even undemocratic to allow such to happen.”

The Presidency has yet to issue a formal statement on the issue as of the time of filing this report.

The presidential panel has however resumed sitting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
