Acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu was detained last night after being quizzed by a panel headed by Justice Isa Ayo Salami, a retired president of the Court of Appeal.

The NATION reported that for hours on Monday, Magu testified before a panel looking into allegations levelled against him by Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami (SAN).

He was reportedly whisked away from the Presidential Villa, where he was interrogated to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) at about 10.15pm shortly after the investigative panel ended its sitting.
