Erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu has lost his mother, Bintu Jamarema.
Magu announced her death in a statement, saying she died on Sunday after a brief illness. The former EFCC boss said she would be buried later in the day.
“I wish to hereby announce the passing of my dear mother, Hajja Bintu Jamarema. Aged about 92 years, she died today, Sunday 18th September 2022, in Maiduguri, after a brief illness. Janaza is scheduled for today at 5.00 pm, Insha Allah.

“May Allah SWT forgive her shortcomings and grant her Al-jannah Firdausi. Ameen Thumma Ameen,” the statement said.
Magu was earlier this year promoted by the Police Service Commission to the position of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG).
He missed the last two promotions after returning to the Police from the EFCC. He was removed as head of the EFCC over allegations of corruption and mismanagement of funds.
