Eniola Akinkuotu, AbujaFormer Senate President Bukola Saraki says the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, visited him in 2016 and begged him to ensure that he was confirmed by the Senate. The former Senate President said this in a letter addressed to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu Abdu-Kafarati. Saraki’s letter was written in response to a previous letter written by the EFCC to the chief judge. The EFCC in a letter sent to Abdu-Kafarati, on May 21, accused Justice Taiwo Taiwo of being biased against it. In his own letter, however, Saraki said the EFCC was after him because Magu believed he had a hand in his confirmation.
