Senate rejection of Magu a joke taken too far – CHRICED

The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED) has condemned Senate second rejection on Wednesday of the nomination of Ibrahim Magu as substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), calling it ill advised.

It said the Senate has further diminished itself in the estimation of Nigerians.

Executive Director of the centre, Ibrahim M. Zikirullahi, said in a statement the Senate’s unending onslaught against the anti-corruption agency should worry all patriotic citizens and that its action hinged on the report of the Department of State Services (DSS), is a huge joke taken too far.

“Only yesterday, the EFCC under Magu’s able watch recovered yet another trove of cash amounting to N49million at the Kaduna Airport. The money was obviously being squirreled away by one of the unrepentant looters of the nation’s treasury. Is the Senate unwittingly telling Nigerians that it is not happy with the hefty haul of stolen monies Mr. Magu has worked so assiduously to recover?

It beats the imagination that the helmsman of an anti-corruption agency who has been so conscientious and consistent in recovering Nigeria’s looted national wealth, is being blackmailed by characters who are supposed to be lawmakers,” Zikirullahi said.
