Buhari Orders Suspension Of 12 EFCC Directors

Twelve (12) directors of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have been ordered to be suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari also suspended the commission’s secretary, Olanipekun Olukoyede.

According to Punch, the president gave the order for their suspension on Friday.

It followed a request by the Presidential Panel investigating the allegations of corruption against the now suspended acting chairman of the anti-graft agency, Ibrahim Magu.

Magu was invited by the panel last week Monday over the allegations of sleaze against him. He was subsequently suspended by Buhari to allow for a thorough investigation.

He has since being in police custody.
