The Presidency has denied reports that Ibrahim Magu has been sacked as the Acting Chairman of the EFCC by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Reports emerged on Saturday morning that he had been redeployed to the Nigeria police.
However, in a series of tweets on Saturday, Presidential spokesman Garba Shehu,said, ” no report has been made available to the Presidency by the Attorney General of the federation over the matter.”

3. The report of his sack is therefore speculative and preemptive.
