Sources at the Aso Rock Villa disclosed that he might be detained if the committee created by President Muhammadu Buhari recommends detention for further investigation or released to go after today’s proceedings.
The source added that it is unclear why the security agency arrested Magu when he could have been invited to the committee without any show of force. See Also Breaking News BREAKING: DSS Arrests EFCC Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu
