Place Magu on watch-list so he won’t flee – Fayose tells FG

Ayodele Fayose

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has asked security agencies in the country to place suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, on watch-list.

Fayose took to his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday to call on the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigeria Customs Service, the Nigeria Immigration Service, amongst others.

According to the former governor, Magu should be placed on the country’s watch list so that he won’t disappear into thin air.

He wrote, “Just as Magu directed that I be placed on “watch-list” even when I had immunity as a sitting governor, Magu too must be placed on watch-list so that he won’t run away. EFCC, DSS, Customs, Police, Immigration, Army, Navy, Air Force, others, over to you. What goes around comes around.”

The suspended EFCC boss, who was detained by the police after Monday’s interrogation, was returned to the police custody at 8:30pm on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had suspended Magu, who is expected to be returned before the panel on Wednesday.
