Nigeria’s Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has advised the president to sack EFCC boss Ibrahim Magu.
This was included in a letter sent to the president Muhammadu Buhari, according to Thisday.
In the letter, Malami based his recommendation on several grounds “raging from diversion of recovered loot to insubordination and misconduct” by Magu.
Multiple sources told THISDAY that Malami included a shortlist of three candidates for consideration to replace Magu.
The report states that Magu is fighting back and his supporters within the Presidency insist that removing Magu at this time when he has given muscle to Buhari’s anti-corruption fight would be a mistake.”
“It is painful that the EFCC boss is facing certain powerful forces who have decided to remove him in spite of his remarkable achievements,” sources stated.
