Ibrahim Magu released on bail

The suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Ibrahim Magu has been released on bail.

Mister Magu was detained ten days ago after appearing before a Presidential panel investigating his activities while he served as the Chairman of the anti-graft commission.

On Friday last week, lawyers to Mr. Magu applied to the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, for bail.

The Inspector-General earlier today denied responsibility for Mr. Magu’s detention and asked him to redirect his application to the Presidential panel.

Mr. Magu is being questioned for allegation raised in a memo by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

He is accused of insubordination, financial misconducts, and other offenses
