‘False Asset Declaration’: #Magu Finally Appears Before CCB

The suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has honoured the invitation
of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in Abuja.

Sources close to the matter also disclosed that the suspended
EFCC boss was at the CCB office in Abuja on Thursday, December 3,
2020 with his lawyers over the CCB’s invitation on his asset
declaration.

But Magu could not be attended to as the CCB was having its
annual lecture with a theme titled: “Fighting Corruption for
Socio-Economic Development”.

It was further gathered that Magu later visited the CCB on
Friday, December 4, 2020 where he spent couple of hours for the
interview on his asset declaration.

The CCB had earlier invited Magu on November 17, 2020 and
asked him to come along with:

*Acknowledgement slips of all his assets declaration since he
joined the public service.
*Copies of his Appointment Letter, Acceptance, Records of Service
and payslips from January to May 2020.
*All title documents of his landed properties both developed and
undeveloped.

But Magu replied in his two letters to the CCB that he would not
be able to honour its invitation on the grounds of lack of access
to the relevant documents which the CCB is demanding from him.

Speaking through his lawyer, Wahab Shittu, Magu explained that
he did not shun the CCB invitation as reported in certain sections
of the media but only sought for a new date over lack of access to
relevant documents.
