Magu evades question about petition on Tinubu’s alleged bullion van scandal

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, deleberately evaded questions about a petition calling for investigation into two bullion vans seen entering the Ikoyi, Lagos, house of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on the eve of the 2019 presidential election.
Magu, was addressing journalists on the high rate of corruption in the country and the involvement of youths in Internet fraud, when he was asked for an update on the petition submitted by rights activist, Deji Adeyanju.
While evading the question, Magu said, “You want me to talk about a petition here? Next question please.”
The EFCC had deliberately snubbed questions bothering on the complaint.  ABUJAPEOPLE learnt that the petition currently “lying fallow” at the office of the anti-graft agency, as quoted by a source, who disclosed that the petition is “just hanging somewhere”, adding that there is no effort or desire by the leadership of the commission to consider the petition for its merit or lack of it at the moment.
