The suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu says he is ready to respond to every allegation against him point by point

In a statement released by his lawyer, Wahab Shittu, the suspended EFCC chief denied misappropriating funds recovered from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Magu said the allegations against him border on matters that were never brought before the panel set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the activities of the EFCC under him.

He said the allegations were prejudicial to the proceedings of the panel.

Meanwhile, there are indications that the Justice Ayo Salami led investigative panel may be focusing attention on the assets declaration of the suspended former anti graft chief.
It appears Magu may not have fully declared his assets contrary to law in the form submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The former Nigeria anti corruption chief is alleged to have admitted on record to making false assets declaration.

The presidential probe panel is expected to give Magu and his legal team an opportunity to open defense this week in the allegations leveled against him by the Attorney General of the Federation and minister of Justice Abubakar Malami.
