The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had wednesday raised an alarm over an alleged plot to frame it's Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, with ownership of assets abroad.
The image maker for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, stated that “shadowy interests at the receiving end ” of the agency’s anti - corruption campaign were behind the alleged scheme.
According to Uwujaren, those behind the plot, which is believed to be part of a grand design to discredit the anti - graft czar, have allegedly finalised plans to name Magu as the owner of choice properties in exotic locations abroad.
He claimed that they are also prepared to sponsor some political hirelings who would come out openly to claim they have information about the property acquisitions.
The spokesperson maintained that the alleged plot is aimed at tainting the “unblemished integrity" of Magu to make him an object of public ridicule.
The commission, however debunks such alerts stressing that Magu has no interest in any property whatsoever outside Nigeria as he has neither bought a house anywhere outside Nigeria nor commissioned any person or corporate body to acquire property in his name or any name remotely linked to him.
The EFCC spokesperson quoted Magu as saying that the schemes would never make him lose focus in his assignment to defeat corruption in the country.
“Those who assume that I have properties abroad, can go and claim them" , quoted Magu.
