Garba Shehu, in series of tweets on his Twitter handle, (@GarShehu, said no report has been made available to the Presidency by the Attorney General of the Federation on the matter.” He twitted:
“We are reading reports that the @officialEFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu has been sacked.” “No report has been made available to the Presidency by the Attorney General of the federation over the matter.”
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, also dismissed the report as untrue.
“No truth in the story making the rounds that Magu has been removed as EFCC boss. The AGF is yet to submit his probe report to the President,” he said on his Twitter handle.
The Senate had earlier this month rejected President Muhammadu Buhari’s nomination of Magu as EFCC, chairman, saying security reports made him ineligible for the office.
