Ibrahim Magu is still entangled in integrity test as four unit heads of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) submitted vital documents to the presidential panel investigating the embattled anti-graft sheriff.

Magu is being held over allegations bordering on insubordination and corruption following a recent memo by the attorney-general of the federation, Abubakar Malami, indicting the suspended EFCC boss.

As different dusts raise, the retired justice Ayo Salami-led panel investigating Magu may have found fresh holes in his anti-graft fight with more documents now set to open more lids on how Magu allegedly ran EFCC like an empire.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that as the probe by the Presidential Committee on Audit of Recovered Assets (PCARA) on Magu continues, some top operatives of the EFCC are now regarded as persons of interest.

In light of this, the federal government has ordered the deployment of security and intelligence agencies at the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja and all its offices throughout Nigeria.
