Senate spokesperson, Dr. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi has said the report by the Directorate of State Security (DSS) to the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN has vindicated the decision of the upper chamber to reject Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The secret police had sent another report to Malami, stating that Magu was corrupt and cannot be trusted.

In a statement on Saturday in Abuja, Abdullahi stated that, “Following several calls made to me today by journalists seeking my comments on the leak report on Mr. Ibrahim Magu which was more damning than the one submitted to us, I can only say that myself and my colleagues have been vindicated.

“From that report which is now public, it is obvious the DG SSS even tried to give Magu soft landing in the report that was sent to the Senate. The recent report is messier and shows that our decision not to confirm his nomination was right.

“We therefore call on all Nigerians to continue to have full confidence and trust on the Nigerian Senate as it discharges its responsibilities according to the letter and spirit of the Nigerian constitution”, he stated.
