The letter read in part: “The acting chairman of EFCC is not acting in the overall best interest of the country and the policies of this administration due to its mismanagement and lack of transparency in managing recovered assets; diversion of recovered assets for personal enrichment; neglecting to investigate the P&ID case as directed by the President; flagrant disobedience to directives and to court orders due to the following.”
When contacted, Malami’s spokesman, Umar Gwandu, told Daily Trust that the minister did not want to respond to Magu’s comments as the issues were still under judicial inquiry.
