The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, on Thursday visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
That was the second time in 24 hours that Magu would be sighted in the Presidential Villa since he was named as replacement for Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde in acting capacity.
The EFCC boss accompanied by his police orderly walked straight towards the President’s office and returned about 10 minutes later.
It was not clear whether he met with President Muhammadu Buhari as the President was meeting with some ministers at the time of his short visit.
Magu who wore a brown suit, white shirt and a brown bow tie was armed with an office file during the visit.
He resisted all attempts made by journalists for him to grant an interview on his way out of the President’s office.
He kept repeating “not now, not now” as he made his way out.
The Thursday visit came about 24 hours after Magu disclosed that the commission would arrest more influential Nigerians by next week.
It was gathered that the EFCC needed the approval of the President before quizzing a category of influential Nigerians, especially past leaders.
