The Department of State Services (DSS) has refuted media reports that it had arrested Ibrahim Magu, the acting chairman of EFCC.

Mr.Peter Afunanya, the Public Relations Officer, Department of State Services stated this in a press release.

The statement titled; “OFFICIAL: Magu is Not Arrested by DSS” stated;

“The Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to inform the public that it did not arrest Ibrahim MAGU,

Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as has been reported by sections of the media.

“The Service, has since, today, 6th July, 2020, been inundated with enquiries over the alleged arrest.”

However, the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Magu, is being grilled by a panel set up to investigate alleged infractions against him.

The panel is sitting at the Conference Centre of the Presidential Villa (Old Banquet Hall) Abuja.

The Attorney General of the Federation, AGF and Minister of Justice,

Abubakar Malami had recently written to President Muhammadu Buhari on why the EFCC boss should be replaced,

having been rejected many times for confirmation by the National Assembly.
