I am Happy To Breathe Freedom - Magu


 Mr Ibrahim Magu.

Ibrahim Magu, the suspended Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who has been in custody since July 6 and was investigated by the Justice Ayo Salami Presidential Probe Panel, said : “I am happy to breathe freedom’’.
Granting a media interview late on Wednesday, Magu said the allegations were designed to tarnish his image.

“They are nonsense. They are mere trump up allegations to tarnish my image and that of the EFCC. I did not steal or divert or convert funds to private use. I read the allegations and I was shocked,” he told the Nation newspaper exclusively.

He, however, urged Nigerians not to give up on the fight against corruption, saying, “They should not give up on the fight because corruption kills a nation faster than any other thing.  

“Whether I am the chairman of EFCC or not, Nigerians must own the war against corruption which President Muhammadu Buhari is determined to eradicate.”

Magu also said: “It is one of those risks of the job. It is not a personal fight.  

“Whether I am EFCC Chairman or not the anti-corruption war must continue. What I have gone through is a case of dog eats dog but I see it as one of those risks of the job. But we must not give up in any way.’’
