EFCC chairman accused of bias in arresting corrupt officials

The Chairman of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu has been accused of shielding Buhari’s counterparts from being probed.

This accusation was made by the Ekiti Justice Group (EJG) who accused Magu of ignoring petitions against chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

See what the group had to say,

"It is on record that petitions were submitted to the EFCC office in Abuja against former governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, by the State Government and concerned groups.”

Reacting to the allegation, Magu expressed,

"Such accusations have come up a lot, but, we work with petitions before us, in fact, I am eager and waiting for something from the other side, but nothing has come so far.”

However, EJG has referred to the Chairman's denial of such practise as a  "Shameless Falsehood". The group had this to say,

"It is a clear confirmation of EFCC partisanship for Magu to claim ignorance of the SEC petition duly received by the commission with attached documents on September 29, 2014".

”The EFCC chairman should rather come clean and tell Nigerians that under the President Mohammadu Buhari-led APC government, only those opposed to the federal government must be presented as corrupt while APC chieftains who are supporting the president can never be corrupt even if there is evidence that they stole their states blind.”

Truth be told.

What's your take?
