The Department of the State Service, DSS, Monday denied media report that it arrested the acting Chairmen of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.
Recall that Magu was invited by panelists for interrogation over allegations leveled against him by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
Malami had weeks ago, advised President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Magu over alleged corruption act. In view of that group of Panelists summoned Magu for interrogation, which many media interpreted as arrest.
