The Senate has rejected the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This followed a closed door session, which lasted for over two-hours where the matter was extensively discussed.
Confirming the development, Senate spokesperson Aliyu Sabi, told newsmen immediately after the closed door session that Magu’s confirmation was rejected due to security report.
“The Senate wishes to inform the public that based on available security report, the Senate cannot proceed with the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“The nomination of Ibrahim Magu is hereby rejected and has been returned to the President for further action,” the lawmaker told journalists.
