The suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, through his lawyer, Oluwatosin Ojaomo, has written a letter to the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to be released on bail.
Magu, who has been detained since on Monday at the Force Criminal investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja, in the letter to the IGP requested to be granted bail ‘on self-recognisance’.
The former EFCC boss is being investigated for allegations of misconduct levelled by a presidential panel.
