Magu Could Not Account For Missing N431m Security Vote - Salami panel

Nigerians have reacted to the promotion of the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, from a Commissioner of Police (CP) to Assistant Inspector General (AIG).

Naija News had earlier reported that the Police Service Commission (PSC) had confirmed the promotion of the disgraced former EFCC chairman.

Recall that Magu was unceremoniously sacked as EFCC Chairman after allegations of corruption and abuse of office were levelled against him by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

In a statement on Monday, PSC spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, revealed Magu had missed the last two promotions despite being the most senior CP of his cadre.

According to Ani, other decisions taken by the Commission at the Plenary were the promotion of 57 Superintendents of Police earlier skipped when their mates were promoted to the next rank of Chief Superintendents.

Following the development, some Nigerians have taken to social media to express their view on the promotion of the former EFCC boss.
