Ibrahim Magu, acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied owning two mansions in Maitama, Abuja.

“I don’t have any mansion anywhere in Maitama. Would I have two mansions in Abuja yet choose to live in a rented apartment in the same community? This is another calculated attempt to smear my reputation. They may have got away with such false reports in the past but I will not let this go unchallenged. I have already briefed my lawyers to institute legal action against the newspaper.”

A news platform reported recently that Magu was under fresh probe over two mansions in Maitama area of Abuja allegedly linked to his wife. According to the report, “the houses being investigated are located in Danube Street, Maitama and Missouri Street, off Colorado Close, Ministers Hill,” adding that they were purchased in 2016.
