JUST IN: DSS Writes Senate Again, Insists EFCC Boss, Magu Lacks Integrity During Live Screening (Letter)

During the just concluded live screening of Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Senator Dino Melaye, confirmed that the State Security Service (DSS) indicted Magu in a fresh report dispatched on Tuesday evening, and insisted that Magu, is not fit to head the anti-graft agency because he lacks integrity.


The influential Kogi state lawmaker made the declaration after it had appeared that Magu would scale the Senate hurdle, when he is answering a wide range of questions at his confirmation hearing still underway.

“In the light of the foregoing, Magu has failed the integrity test and will eventually constitute a liability to the anti-corruption stand of the current government,” the SSS report, read by Dino Melaye, stated.

An earlier report by the DSS had prevented the Senate from confirming Magu as EFCC chairman earlier before President Muhammadu Buhari wrote to the senate and insist that Magu should be screened.
