The Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu visited the Presidential Villa briefly on Thursday ostensibly to see President Muhammadu Buhari.
It was not clear whether he was able to see the President who was inaugurating the National Research and Innovation Council (NRIC) at about the same time.
When Magu emerged from the President’s office about ten minutes later, State House correspondents sought to interview him but he declined, saying: “not now, not now!”
Magu’s visit to the Villa came barely 24 hours after the EFCC arrested Buhari’s ally and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and former military administrator of Kaduna State, Brig. Gen. Lawal Ja’afaru Isa.
Magu told newsmen on Wednesday that the anti-corruption agency would soon go after more of the influential people who have allegations of corruption hanging on their necks.
