Magu reveals next move: Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that he will not stop fighting corruption despite being rejected by the Senate on Wednesday.
The Senate rejected Magu, citing an indicting report from the Department of State Services (DSS).
Speaking with members of some civil society organisations in Abuja, Magu said the rejection will not change his stance on corruption. He added that “the greatest violation against human right is crime against the society and the humanity”.
Magu said: “My priority is to fight corruption. My non-confirmation has not changed anything, I will work until the last day whether confirmation or no confirmation.
“The greatest violation against human right is crime against the society and the humanity… everybody has a duty and responsibility to fight corruption, and I also have a responsibility. I assure you that we will fight to finish.”
According to Magu, DSS allegations “cannot stand the test of time”.
“You know, you can’t just raise mere allegations without giving the person opportunity to answer you. There is also the issue of fundamental human right, right of fair hearing,” he said.
“Up till this time, DSS has not called me, and I am even surprised that the same report is coming back. I doubt the genuineness of that report, but I think we need to identify those who have the interest of this country at heart.
“We must all wake up, wherever you find yourself, fight corruption, and anytime you discover that I am corrupt, please expose me,” he said.
