The Presidency has said Nigerians should prepare for twists and surprises in the corruption investigation against the embattled former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.
Magu is being investigated by a special Presidential panel for alleged corruption and abuse of office and was incarcerated for ten days after he was initially arrested on July 6.

Speaking on a live television program on Channels, the senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Garba Shehu said the probe against Magu was not a witch hunt in response to questions from the program hosts.
“I guess this is a question for the Justice Ayo Salami panel and I must say that panel is composed of some of this country’s most honoured people with integrity who will do the right thing,” Garba Shehu said.
“I am not going to pre-empt the panel investigation but I just advise Nigerians to hold their hearts in their hands. By the time they are done with this job and they come out with the reports, prepare yourselves for surprises.
“I don’t know what will come out but if the sense we are getting from what is being done over there is anything to go by, I think that Nigerians should not be confused by any outbursts by anybody.”
