WHY MAGU FLOODED EFCC WITH POOICE OFFICERS INSTEAD OF USING TRAINED AND RETRAINED HANDS THAT WERE RECRUITED UNDER HIM

One of the investigative committees set up by the President to look into the activities of the EFCC under suspended Chairman, Magu Ibrahim  alleged that the suspended EFCC boss turned the commission into a ‘glorified police station’ for alleged selfish motives, according to NAN.

According to the report of the committee, Magu has continued seconding police officers to the EFCC in spite of the massive recruitment of officers and men carried out by the commission in recent years.

It stated, “The blatant display of arrogance and acquisition of illicit wealth have turned the EFCC into a glorified police station.

“Despite massive recruitment of officers and men in recent years by the (suspended) acting chairman at the EFCC, he is still seconding police officers to the EFCC because he is comfortable with his fellow officers to carry out his illicit activities.

“He does not have any exit strategy for the police even though the EFCC officers are more experienced in the investigation of economic and financial crimes,’’ the report further noted.
