The State Security Service (SSS), has again insisted the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, is not fit to head the anti-graft agency because he lacks integrity.
The SSS said this to the Senate in a fresh report said to have been dispatched Tuesday evening before the screening of Magu which came up today on the hallow chamber of the upper legislature.
The content of the report, it was heard, was raised by Senator Dino Melaye, after it had appeared Mr. Magu would scale the Senate hurdle, after answering a wide range of questions.
“In the light of the foregoing, Magu has failed the integrity test and will eventually constitute a liability to the anti-corruption stand of the current government,” the SSS report, read by Mr. Melaye, had stated.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Senate has again rejected Ibrahim Magu as the substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Magu was rejected by a majority of the Senate membership after over an hour of severe screening at the National Assembly in Abuja this morning.
