EFCC Boss Magu Says Cabal Bought and Registered Houses Abroad In His Name To Frame Him

Ibrahim Magu,acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),has raised the alarm over an alleged plot to frame him with ownership of assets abroad.

In a statement on Wednesday, the anti-graft czar said “shadowy interests at the receiving end” of the agency’s anti-corruption campaign were behind the scheme. According to him, the alleged plot is aimed at tainting his “unblemished integrity” and make him an object of public ridicule.


Those behind the plot, which is believed to be part of a grand design to discredit the anti-graft czar, have allegedly finalised plans to name Magu as the owner of choice properties in exotic locations abroad.


The commission has information that the desperate cabal could take their gambit to the ridiculous extent of purchasing properties and registering them in the name of Ibrahim Magu to make the plot believable. The commission, however, wishes to alert the public that Magu has no interest in any property whatsoever outside Nigeria. Those who assume that I have properties abroad, can go and claim them.
