The acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has questioned the integrity of the Department of State Security (DSS), who wrote a report that Magu is unfit’ to head the anti-graft agency.
Magu says two reports were submitted in one day about him and that questions the integrity of the DSS as well.
“What does it mean if same institution can submit two different reports on one person on a single day,” Magu queried.
Senator Dino Melaye had earlier confronted Magu with the report by the DSS.
Melaye read Paragraph 14 of the DSS’ letter on Magu which says "In the light of the foregoing, MAGU has failed the integrity test.
"Every nominee before the Senate we do request for screening by DSS, it did not start with you and it won't end with you," Melaye noted.
Recalled that Senators had on December 15, 2016 after a closed-door meeting decided to reject Magu’s nomination after receiving a report by the DSS, which indicted the acting EFCC chairman.
But on January 24, Buhari re-nominated Magu, but the Senate has been sitting on Magu’s nomination since then.
