Security beefed up for
Magu, mother, family
Security has been
strengthened for the Acting Chairman of the EFCC Mr. Ibrahim Magu and his
family, including his aged mother.
It was learnt that some strangers have been
prowling Magu’s residence in Maiduguri. Some policemen have been deployed in
Magu’s uncompleted bungalow in Karshi, Abuja.
According to a source who who pleaded
not to be named, the last seven months had been tough for Magu because of his
refusal to bow to pressure from some high-profile suspects and Politically-Exposed
Persons.
The source said the pressure had grave
implications on Magu’s and his relations’ safety.
The development has led to the review of Magu’s and most of the key
investigators’ security.
The source said: “In the past few weeks,
security had been beefed up for Magu and his immediate family because of
threats from some forces.
“His office was also recently
reorganized in line with the new security model. It is so bad that Magu
now keeps his itinerary to himself until the last minute.
“Hitherto, there was no protection for Magu’s
aged mother in Maiduguri. But of recent, some suspected elements have been
prowling the family house in the Borno State capital and issuing threats to the
woman.
“Due to old age, the mother of the Acting
chairman could not recognise these elements. To avoid any harm, security has
now been provided in and around the house.
“And following the recent raid of Magu’s
uncompleted building in Karshi, Abuja by some suspected agents, the
police have deployed in more men for sentry duties.”
The source added: “It has really been tough because the pressure is too much on
Magu, EFCC investigators and their families.
“With the invasion of the strategic office of
the EFCC in Zone 7, it is evident that we need to strengthen security for all
our operatives.”
