IgbereTV reports that former head of state, Abdulsalami Abubakar, has denied the claim that he influenced Ibrahim Magu’s probe after it was reported that his house was recently searched by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Abubakar in a statement issued on Thursday, evening, July 9, through his media aide, J Mfon, said operatives of the agency went to his guest house in error in 2017 but did not conduct any search of his property.
Abubakar also said his house has never been searched by the anti-graft agency or any other security outfit. The former head of state explained that back in 2017, EFCC operatives on a mission to search a house in Tunga, erroneously ended up at his guest house in Minna but left without searching his property after they discovered they were at the wrong address.
