The Nigerian Senate has today confirmed rumours of a plot to block EFCC acting Chairman Mr. Ibrahim Magu from emerging the substantive Chairman as it rejected his nomination.
The spokesperson for the Red Chamber, Aliyu Abdullahi, revealed this on Thursday afternoon after the Senators emerged from a closed-door meeting where Mr. Magu’s confirmation was discussed. He said the rejection was due to security concerns.
“The Senate wishes to inform the public that based on available security report, the Senate cannot proceed with the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.“The nomination of Ibrahim Magu is hereby rejected and has been returned to the President for further action,” Mr. Abdullahi said.
