Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday directed the Director of Operations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mohammed Umar, to take charge of the Commission, following the suspension of Ibrahim Magu as Ag. Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The embattled Ibrahim Magu, who has spent four days at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) was suspended to allow unhindered inquiry by the Presidential Investigation Panel under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act & other relevant laws.
Magu was accused of corrupt practices and insubordination by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
He is also accused of being unable to accurately account for billions of recovered loots.
What you should know about Mohammed Umar are listed below:
1. Until his new appointment, Umar was the director of operations at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
2. He is also a Deputy Commissioner of Police
3. Umar is from Kano State.
4. He has represented Ibrahim Magu at several events in the past.
5. Umar is a devoted Muslim and the most senior official in the commission.
In addition to the above, how many houses does he own in his hometown, Abuja, or elsewhere? What other properties are tied to him?
You guys in the press have to help us ordinary Nigerians understand and get a handle on what is going on in the country. If you don’t do that, tomorrow we will be facing the same situation with him as to Magu.
That is it…? That is all you have on his background? What a crock! Did he go to school? Is he married, have children, belong to any organization(s)? What is his philosophy…in life, if any?
Please don;t give us this 5-point bullets and call it good night. You are wetting our appetite!
