Unknown Gunmen Invade EFCC Boss, Ibrahim Magu’s Abuja Resident, One Policeman Killed
The unknown gunmen stormed Magu’s house in Karshi Abuja at about 10pm on Tuesday, December 12, 2017 and exchanged fire with the policemen on duty.
The bungalow farmhouse of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu has been invaded by gunmen who also killed a policeman in the premises.
In a report by The Nation, the unknown gunmen stormed Magu’s house in Karshi Abuja at about 10pm on Tuesday, December 12, 2017 and exchanged fire with the policemen on duty.
The murdered policeman attached to Magu’s house has been been identified as a police Sergeant.
It was further reported that the attack is the second on the same the house in months.
Magu’s exploits
In the last 10 months, Magu had been tough on high profile suspects and politicians, as he continues to expose their corrupt acts.
The months had been tougher for Magu because he refused to bow to pressure from some high-profile suspects and Politically Exposed Persons. Recently Magu on Monday, December 11, 2017, said: “For those of us on this side; in the anti-corruption agencies of government, in the media, and civil society, the dagger is drawn and I believe I am speaking the mind of everyone on this side that we intend to neither retreat nor surrender in our noble intention to cure our country of the evils of corruption.
“For us as a country, the fight against corruption is a ‘do or die’ affair; we have to win the battle or die trying.”
This latest attack came barely 48 hours after Magu said the anti-corruption will be a do-or-die affair. Following threats, security was beefed up for Magu and his immediate family leading to the deployment of policemen to the uncompleted bungalow in Karshi.
It was also reported that some suspected elements had also been prowling the family’s house in the Borno State capital and issuing threats to the woman.
