DSS denies arresting EFCC Boss, Magu
The Department of State Services (DSS) has said that it did not arrest Mr Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The Service’s Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, said this in a statement on Monday.
This comes after there were reports that Magu was arrested few hours ago.
Magu’s S.A. on Media, Tony Amokeodo said his boss was not arrested but only invited to answer questions regarding some allegations against the agency.
He explained that Magu was invited to appear before a Federal Government panel set up to investigate the allegations of corruption levelled against him.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the anti-graft agency, Mr Dele Oyewale, has clarified the controversy surrounding Magu’s invitation in a statement.

Wether DSS or panel, truth must prevail from your interrogation because there’s a lot of interrogation but at the there will be no light at the end of the tunnel. They make their enquiry known to the people.
Ok
No matter who arrested…they did so on order shikina
Who arrested doesn’t matter
The fact that he’s arrested is satisfactory
