A former Assistant Director with the Department of State Services DSS, Dennis Amachree has reacted to the ongoing questioning the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.
Amachree said this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme today where he was invited a guest. He noted that Magu has some blames on his side as he was operating as a law unto himself and not reporting to the Attorney General of the Federation AGF, just as the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI reports to the Department of Justice in the United States.
“I think Magu has some blame on his side. Apparently, he was operating as a law unto himself. He must be reporting to somebody. Even in the US, the FBI reports to the Department of Justice. In Nigeria, EFCC ought to report to the AGF who is now the originator of the allegations.” Read also:Â Ibrahim Magu Is A Victim Of Power Play Led By AGF Malami – PACAC
“When this thing came up, they knew he may not want to come, I don’t know, but he was stopped on the way to another meeting but they said he must go before the panel. He was accosted by policemen from the FCID. However, because they were policemen in plain clothes, many people thought it was the DSS.“, he said.
Magu was, on Monday 6th July intercepted on the road along Fomella Street while moving out of the Wuse II office Annex of the EFCC in Abuja.
