Senate suspends confirmation of Magu as EFCC boss


The confirmation hearing on the nomination of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, anticipated to hold today, has been deferred by the Senate.
The deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, had announced at plenary on Wednesday that the confirmation hearing would hold Thursday, after five months of delay.
But the Senate did not list the confirmation in the Order Paper for Thursday eventually.
It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had few months ago written to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Magu as the substantive chairman of the anti-graft agency.
