The embattled former acting chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu has been released.
He was seen at his family house in Maitama without paraphanelia of office.
Earlier in the day, the Inspector General of Police Muhammed Adamu rejected Magu’s application for bail, claiming that he was held at the instance of the presidential panel investigating his tenure and not the Police.
A letter to that effect was sighted by Verity News online.com.
In a letter sent to Magu’s lawyer, Tosin Ojaomo of Ojaomo Ojaomo Chambers, the IGP said the Nigeria Police Force is not investigating Magu and as such did not detain him.
The IGP advisory signed by DCP Idowu Owohunwa, a principal Staff Officer in the office of the IGP, therefore advised Magu’s solicitors on his behalf to redirect his bail application to the chairman of the Presidential Investigation panel looking into the activities of the EFCC under Magu.
Magu was suspended from office over some misdemeanours while in office even as investigation is still on going.
