Suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, on Tuesday, failed to honour the summon the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, issued for him to appear and answer questions about his declared assets.

The Bureau had in a letter dated November 2, requested Magu whom it described as “former Chairman” of the EFCC, to appear before it with documents of all his landed properties, both developed and undeveloped.

He was equally directed to produce acknowledgment slips of all the asset declarations he made since he joined public service.

The CCB, in the letter that was signed by its Director of Intelligence, Investigation & Monitoring, Gwimi S. P, stressed that all the requested documents must be the Certified True Copies, CTC.
