EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, has been arrested by the DSS for fraud.

According to reports, the Department of State Services (DSS) arrested the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over allegations that he owns four properties and that he was allegedly transferring funds abroad through a third party.

The EFCC Chairman, who was arrested at the Wuse II office of the DSS in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital on Monday afternoon, is undergoing interrogation at the DSS Headquarters In Aso Drive.

Recall that the DSS had, in a 2016 report, accused Magu of living in a N40m mansion paid for by one Umar Mohammed, a retired air commodore who is allegedly involved in shady deals.
