Acting EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu
Magu’s visit to the villa came barely 24 hours after the anti-graft agency arrested Buhari’s ally and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former military administrator of Kaduna state, Brig. Gen. Lawal Ja’afaru Isa.
It was not clear whether Magu was able to see the president as he spent only a few minutes in his office.
The EFCC boss came about the time the president was inaugurating the National Research and Innovation Council (NRIC).
National Mirror reports that Magu declined to speak to state house correspondents when he emerged from the president’s office.
The EFCC has recently arrested some officials who served under former President Goodluck Jonathan, including his former national security adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), and the former minister of state for finance, Bashir Yuguda.
The spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, was also recently arrested by the anti-graft body.
The EFCC boss on Wednesday, January 6, disclosed that more influential Nigerians would soon be arrested to face prosecution as the agency under him had reinvigorated itself for the fight against corruption.
According to Magu, since his appointment as acting chairman of the EFCC, he had taken steps to reorder priorities for effective implementation of its mandate
