    EFCC Boss Ibrahim Magu at NBA EventIbrahim Magu, acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), has written a letter to the publisher of the Sun Newspaper in Abuja seeking a N5 billion naira compensation.

    Wilson Uwujaren, Head Media and Publicity, EFCC said this on Thursday in a statement in Abuja.

    He said Magu was seeking the compensation for “libelous imputations and statements” made against him in a story published on the March 25, 2017 edition of the Saturday Sun.

    “The publication was captioned “Magu Under Fresh Probe over 2 Abuja Mansions”.

    The spokesman said that Magu’s solicitor, Wahab Shittu, noted in the letter that the authors of the story – Fred Itua, James Ojo and Lawrene Enyoghasu, “wilfully and maliciously made false, destructive, and defamatory statements” against him.

    He said that the paper quoted unidentified sources.

    Uwujaren said that the writers of the “offensive” report, had maliciously alleged that Magu owned “two mansions on different streets in highbrow Maitama area of Abuja”

    “This is a case which they could not substantiate, and which in fact was false, and nothing but the figments of their imaginations.”

    The statement said that Magu further reiterated that “neither himself nor his wife own any property in Maitama.

    He said further that Magu in addition to the demand for N5 billion compensation, has charged the publishers to issue a public apology and immediate retraction in writing of these false libelous statements”, within the next seven days.
