Magu has been answering questions from a panel investigating sundry allegations against him since Monday. A top Presidency official explained that "Under the Muhammadu Buhari administration, nobody is above scrutiny." adding that the interrogation of the anti-graft agency boss is to give him the opportunity to clear himself of the weighty allegations against him; and to reinforce the Buhari administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
The official assured that the administration will not prejudge anyone as it could be counted on to uphold justice and fairness, adding:
“In consonance with the principle of fairness and justice, it was needful that the acting chairman be given the opportunity to respond to the allegations, which are weighty in nature, The investigation is to reinforce transparency and accountability, rather than to vitiate it. Accountability for our actions or inaction is an inalienable part of democracy. In such an elevated position as that of EFCC Chairman, the holder of the position must be above suspicion. There’s no prejudgment. Absolutely none. The Buhari administration can be counted on to uphold fairness and justice at all times.”
