The embattled Acting
Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim
Magu, was on Wednesday confronted with more allegations.
The Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential panel asked him to account for
380 houses and seven vessels loaded with crude oil.
The probe panel also grilled on him on the disposal of assets worth N37
billion.
Magu is being grilled, following allegations raised against him by
Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar
Malami(SAN).
The panel started quizzing Magu on Monday after his arrest by detectives
in Abuja. On Tuesday, he was grilled on cash discrepancies said to be
N539 billion realised from the sale of seized assets and N504 billion
declared by the commission.

Both issues are part of the over 20 allegations levelled against the
anti-graft agency chairman by the AGF.
Vanguard also gathered, on Wednesday, that on the ground floor of the
Federal Criminal Investigation Department, FCID, Area 10, Abuja, where
the EFCC boss is being held, his family members are allowed to visit
him.
A Presidency source had said, on Tuesday, that the probe was an
affirmation that nobody under the present administration was above
scrutiny. The source had also explained that the interrogation of the
anti-graft boss was being done to give him the opportunity to clear
himself of the weighty allegations.
Vanguard gathered that Magu was brought to the venue at about 11:14am
from the Force Criminal Investigation Department, FCID, building where
he had been held since Monday. He was also joined by his lawyer at the
panel for interrogation.
