Ibrahim Magu, Suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday told the probe panel investigating him that he’s never received a bribe from anyone in his life.
At the proceedings, Magu challenged anyone who has ever offered him a bribe which he accepted to “come out publicly to confront him before the Justice Ayo Salami panel”.
Magu said this while responding to allegations that he allowed a suspect Hima Aboubakar, a Nigerien National to escape from justice.
On Monday, the suspended EFCC boss opened his defense to the allegations of ‘Alleged Abuse of Office and Mismanagement of Federal Government Recovered Assets and Finances’ leveled against him.
The probe panel has allowed him to have only two lawyers represent him at a time. On Monday & Tuesday, he was represented by Wahab Shittu and Aliyu Lemu.
In today’s proceedings, he was represented by Shittu and Tosin Ojaomo.
