Security agents storm Magu’s homes as suspended EFCC boss remains in detention

A combined team of riot policemen and operatives of the State Security Services (SSS) yesterday searched the residence of Ibrahim Magu, the suspended boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

A source close to the presidential panel set up to investigate Mr Magu said operatives were detailed to conduct searches at Mr Magu’s private home in Karu and his official residence in the Maitama District of the Nigerian capital, Premium Times reports.

A family source who asked not to be mentioned informed the newspaper that Mr Magu is still with the presidential panel.


A domestic staff at the residence confirmed the presence of the security men as of 7:30 pm.

He said the security operatives arrived in four vehicles and spent over an hour searching the house.

“They searched the house but found nothing so they wrote a report and both of us signed,” said a security guard in the house who was not authorised to speak.
