The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has directed the immediate withdrawal of all police officers serving at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.
IGP Adamu made the announcement on Friday with immediate compliance orders that they be replaced with fresh officers.
The directive was contained in a signal to the Assistant Inspector-General, Police Mobile Force Squadrons one to 79, the Force Secretary and Commissioners of Police of all the state commands and the Federal Capital Territory.
The Signal Says:
“only staff of EFCC should be allowed access into the premises, while withdrawn police personnel from PMF 21, 44, 45, 46 and 50 must report to the Force Headquarters by 8am on Monday.”
In strict compliance to the Presidential panel of inquiry with it’s intent for non interference in the Magu investigation, police security guards at Magu’s official maitama residence have been withdrawn.
The men were ordered to leave the residences in Abuja on Friday.
All vehicles in the official house in Maitama were also withdrawn.
Magu’s arrest vent viral on Monday. Control TV in a phone call to his media Aid reported his denial saying Magu was invited by the Presidential Panel of Inquiry and not arrested by the DSS.
Magu is now asking for bail as it turned out that he was actually arrested on Monday.
Magu is facing a presidential investigative panel over alleged Corruption and Insubordination.
