Nigeria In One Minute
I’ve submitted my report on Magu, SGF to Buhari –AGF
The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, on Wednesday, said he had submitted the report on the probe of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir Lawal.
Malami, who disclosed this in an SMS he sent to one of our correspondents in Abuja, said he submitted the report to President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday last week, adding that the President would have the final say on the document.
The President had, on December 18, 2016, directed Malami to probe all top government officials accused of corruption.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who announced the presidential directive, had said any of the government officials found guilty of the allegations levelled against them would not escape prosecution.
